Egypt ·

President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi said his current term ends in 2030 and that the constitution would not be amended, after which debate grew over possible political alternatives for the post. Sources told Al-Quds Al-Arabi that a leftist opposition figure intends to contest the upcoming presidential election.
