CAIRO: Egypt’s parliament, packed with loyalists of President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, is to vote Tuesday on changes to the constitution that could keep the former military chief in power until 2030.
The proposed amendments were initially introduced in February by a parliamentary bloc supportive of El-Sisi and updated this week after several rounds of parliamentary debates.
It includes changing Article 140 of the constitution to allow the Egyptian president to extend his current four-year term, which ends in 2022, by two years.
