Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi has announced his candidacy for a third term in the upcoming December elections. El-Sissi, who has ruled the country since 2014, made the announcement at a national conference attended by leading politicians. The election will take place over three days on December 10-12, with a runoff on Jan. 8-10 if needed. Although a few politicians have declared their bids, none pose a significant challenge to el-Sissi, who is the clear favorite. The president's decision to run for a third term comes amid economic challenges, including high inflation and devaluation.
