Three-day presidential election kicks off in Egypt today

By IBNS
Dec 10, 2023..

Cairo/IBNS/UNI: The presidential election in Egypt kick-started on Sunday, with incumbent President Abdel Fattah Sisi running for his third term.


Former Defense Minister and army general Sisi became president in 2013 as a result of a coup, ousting then-President Mohamed Morsi.

He has served two terms and remains the most likely front-runner despite economic problems and the West's dissatisfaction with the country's human rights situation.

The election will run for 3 days in which Sisi will face off against three candidates.

Abdel Sanad Yamama of the liberal Wafd Party has proposed a set of economic, educational, and legal reforms in his campaign.

At the same time, the head of the Republican People’s Party, former foreign ministry official and businessman Hazem Omar advocated for the most conservative approach and is believed to support Sisi.

The third candidate is Farid Zahran of the Egyptian Social Democratic Party, who is also considered close to Sisi as he helped to form his cabinet after the coup.
