Sisi is likely to win the upcoming election in Egypt from December 10-12. Despite criticism for cracking down on opposition and facing economic and security challenges during his ten years as leader, he might stay in power until 2030. Many think this is almost certain to happen.
Egypt’s President Al-Sisi aims to continue ruling with a strong hand after ten years.
He’s expected to win the upcoming election from December 10-12, possibly extending his rule until 2030. Critics point to a crackdown on dissent and economic challenges, but supporters believe in his leadership.
In 2012, Al-Sisi rose to power within the military under President Morsi, but later took control. Born in Cairo in 1954, he pursued a military career, gaining prominence as chief of staff and defense minister.
His ties to the Muslim Brotherhood were initially seen as compatible, but he distanced himself to climb the ranks. (Source: France 24)
