CAIRO, April 2 — Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has been re-elected with 97 per cent of votes, the exact proportion that brought the former military commander his first term four years ago, Egypt’s election commission announced today.
However, turnout in last week’s election was lower than in 2014, at 41 per cent.
Sisi had long been virtually guaranteed victory after all serious opposition pulled out of the contest earlier this year. — Reuters
