Egypt to vote on referendum extending Sissi rule to 2030

Egyptians were being asked Saturday to vote on constitutional amendments that would allow President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to stay in power until 2030.

 

The three-day voting period for the nationwide referendum starts at 9 a.m. (0700 GMT) Saturday on proposed changes that would also further enshrine the military's role in politics.

 

Parliament, packed with Sissi supporters, overwhelmingly approved the amendments on Tuesday.
