As-Sisi is running for the third presidential term in Egypt, where the presidential election has begun, will last for three days. During his reign, he is marked by a fierce suppression of the opposition. Observers consider it to be re -election almost incompatible, especially taking into account his victories in the 2014 and 2018 elections, where he received 96 percent of votes according to official data.
Three alternative candidates have almost no chance of victory, and the most serious competitor has already refused to participate in pressure in October. Official voting results are planned to be announced on December 18.
These elections are surrounded by criticism, which considers them deception after decades of suppression of dissidents. However, state media claim that it is a step to political pluralism, urging citizens to participate in election processes.
Under the leadership of the AS-SISI, who came to power after the overthrow of President Mohammed Mursi in 2013, the opposition regularly faces severe suppression. Under the pretext of combating terrorism, thousands of Islamists, activists and bloggers were in custody.
Egypt, which faces a deep economic crisis and financial difficulties, is actively trying to avoid conflict with the Gaza Sector and ensure stability in the region.
