Presidential elections were held in Egypt between 26 and 28 March 2018,[1] though Egyptians abroad voted from 16 to 18 March 2018.[2] On 19 January, incumbent President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi formally announced he would run for a second and final term.[3] El-Sisi won the election with 97%, according to the official results. A runoff would have taken place 19 to 21 April outside the country and 24 to 26 April within the country if no candidate had reached 50% of the vote.[4] The election had a turnout of roughly 41%, lower than the 2014 election's 47%.[5] A 2019 constitutional change allowed El-Sisi to remain in power until 2030 instead of 2022.
Fourteen human rights groups dismissed the poll as "farcical."[6][7] They said the authorities had "trampled over even the minimum requirements for free and fair elections", stifling basic freedoms and eliminating key challengers.[8] The only approved challenger to Sisi was another pro-government politician, Moussa Mostafa Moussa.
