Egypt to hold presidential vote in December as economic crisis worsens
Egypt is set to hold a presidential vote in December, the elections body announced, and incumbent President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi is widely expected to win despite the dire economic situation facing the country.
The National Elections Authority said on Monday that the vote will be held December 10-12.
A handful of politicians have already announced their bids to run for the country’s highest post, but none poses a serious challenge to el-Sisi, who has been in power since 2014 – a year after overthrowing the country’s first democratically elected President Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood.
The Muslim Brotherhood has since been declared a “terrorist” organisation.
Opposition politician Ahmed al-Tantawi, an ex-lawmaker, has said he will run, and accused security agencies of arresting some of his supporters.
