Egypt: heated media debate over Sisi staying in power and amending the constitution

Egypt ·

On a television programme, presenter Amr Adib and MP Mostafa Bakry clashed over a proposal to draft a new constitution that would allow President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to remain in office after 2030. The exchange centred on how power is transferred in Egypt.

Sisi has led Egypt since 2014, and constitutional amendments approved in 2019 extended presidential terms and allowed him to seek re-election until 2030.
