Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was sworn in Tuesday before parliament for his third term in office as leader of the Arab world’s most populous country.
In power for the past decade, Sisi is set to remain president until 2030, after winning a December election with 89.6 percent of the vote against three relative unknowns.
The six-year term is set to be the 69-year-old’s last, unless he again ushers through a constitutional amendment prolonging his tenure.
The oath also marked the inauguration of Egypt’s New Administrative Capital, located in the desert east of Cairo, local media reported. — AFP
