Egypt's parliament has been suspended until the contested results of elections held in late 2010 are revised, state news agency MENA said Wednesday.

The two houses of parliament "have decided to suspend their sessions indefinitely, until decisions are reached" about the results of the elections held in November and December last year, MENA said.

The elections were marred by violence as well as accusations of widespread fraud and vote-rigging.
