Egypt will hold a presidential election on December 10-12. President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, a former army chief who ousted democratically elected Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood in response to public protests against Mursi’s rule, has been in power since 2014.
Judge Walid Hassan Hamza, the Chairman of the National Election Authority, announced that voting will take place from December 10 to December 12.
Despite the country’s economic crisis, which includes high inflation and a shortage of foreign currency, the elections authority predicts that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is likely to win re-election.
The elections were initially scheduled for 2024, but they have been brought forward due to the anticipated impact of the economic crisis, which includes high inflation and a shortage of foreign currency.
Among the new candidates, Ahmed Eltantawy stands out. He is a former member of parliament who alleges that his allies have been unjustly imprisoned by security agents and prevented from participating in election rallies.
The government has not yet responded to these allegations. Eltantawy is determined to challenge the government’s actions and is demanding an investigation into these claims. He has also promised to release a list of the individuals he believes have been victimized. Consequently, Eltantawy shows a strong determination to challenge the government and fight for justice on behalf of his alleged victims.
