Egypt’s Supreme Administrative Court will accept appeals regarding the presidential elections on Friday and Saturday.
Last week, the National Election Authority (NEA) announced the initial list of candidates who are set to run in the 2024 Presidential Elections two days after nominations closed.
Candidates running in the upcoming elections include incumbent President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, who has been in post since 2014 and plans to run for a third term until 2030.
Besides Sisi, those willing to stand in the upcoming elections, scheduled for December, include Farid Zahran, head of the Egyptian Social Democratic Party, Head of Al-Wafd Party Abdel Sanad Yamama and Hazem Omar, head of the Republican People’s Party.
Former MP Ahmed Tantawi, the former head of Al-Karama (Dignity) Party, has failed to secure the required endorsements from people. In a press conference on Friday, he said he only managed to obtain about 14,000 endorsements.
Meanwhile, Head of Egypt’s liberal Constitution Party (Al-Dostour) Gameela Ismail announced withdrawing from the presidential race, citing a decision by her party.
Egyptians will cast their votes on 10-12 December 2023 locally, while eligible voters living abroad will vote on 1-3 December.
