Egypt Announces Presidential Election Date, President Sisi Expected To Be Re-Elected

The possibility of the 68-year-old President to have a rerun is due to the constitutional amendments in 2019 that also extended the length of presidential terms to six years from four, opening the way for him to stay in office until at least 2030.

The election authority further said that the election results are expected to be announced on Dec. 18 and, in the event of a run off round, final results should be announced on Jan 16 at the latest, the election authority said.
