Results of the constitutional referendum in Egypt

The convincing victory of Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi on elections in March 2018, first elected on this post in 2014 extended his term to 2022. Moreover, in accordance to Egyptian Constitution, which determines that the president is elected for 4 years and can be re-elected only once, A.F. al-Sisi lost the right to run for office again. As a result, a dilemma arose before the ruling elite of Egypt: either to transfer power in 2022 as required by the Constitution, or once again change the basic law (over the past 7 years it has changed twice: in 2012 and in 2014).
