Egypt is busy preparing for its presidential election which will take place from Sunday 10 to Tuesday 12, with the result expected on December 18.
The outcome is seen as a foregone conclusion, with incumbent Abdel Fattah El-Sisi expected to win a third term, despite growing social discontent as the country’s economic situation worsens.
Egyptian voters will choose between El-Sisi, who has been in power since 2013, and three other candidates who remain mostly unknown to the general public.
The results will be announced on December 18, unless a second round has to be organised.
However, seeing as El-Sisi has won the previous two elections with 96% of the vote, a third term for the president will be of no surprise.
