Egypt’s Parl’t Approves Removing Presidential Term Until 2034


Sisi, who came into power following the turmoil of the Arab Spring in Egypt, has been the president of the country since June 2014 and was re-elected in 2018 with 97 percent of the vote.

According to parliamentary Speaker Ali Abdelaal, 485 MPs of the 596-seat assembly have supported the constitutional amendments allowing President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to remain in power until 2034, also boosting his control over the judiciary of the country.
