Egypt will hold a presidential vote on December 10 to 12, 2023, according to the country’s election authority chairman Walid Hassan Hamza. The results will be announced on December 18. The final results of the presidential elections will be announced and published in the official newspaper on January 16th. The entire election process will conclude before January 17th, 2024, according to the information given by the election authority.
President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi is widely expected to win re-election, although he has not formally announced his name. Political analysts say that President Sisi would move forward the 2024 election, ahead of a predicted switch to a flexible exchange rate. This is likely to have major economic consequences. Egypt is now experimenting with the market economy more than ever before. It has a huge presence of public sector undertakings, whose performance is reckoned below the expectation.

Sisi, 68, has been in power since 2014 and further won again in 2018 against one of his own political allies. The constitution was changed later which allowed him to stand for a third term. The length of presidential terms was also changed from four to six years. This would allow Sisi to stay in power until 2030 should he win.
Abdel Fattah Saeed Hussein Khalil el-Sisi is a retired military officer who has served as the sixth and current president of Egypt since 2014. Sisi served as Egypt’s deputy prime minister from 2013 to 2014, as its minister of defense from 2012 to 2013, and as its director of military intelligence from 2010 to 2012. He was promoted to the rank of Field Marshal in January 2014. On 26 March 2014, in response to calls from supporters to run for the presidency, Field Marshal el-Sisi retired from his military career and announced that he would run as a candidate in the 2014 presidential election.
