Egyptians to vote on April 20 through to 22 on constitutional changes, including amendments that could extend President Sisi's rule until 2030
Wall-to-wall banners and billboards have flooded Cairo's streets in the past few weeks urging people to take part in the referendum. April 16, 2019.
Lasheen Ibrahim, chairman of the National Election Authority, said on Wednesday the vote will take place April 20 through April 22. Egyptian expatriates will vote April 19 through April 21, he said.They would only extend a president's term in office from four to six years. But they include a special article specific to Sisi to extend his current, second term to six years and allow him to run for another six-year term in 2024.
It has now been nearly six years since Sisi led the military overthrow of the country's first freely-elected but divisive president Mohammed Morsi after mass protests against his rule. It also includes provisions for what it describes as adequate representation for workers, farmers, youth and people with special needs.
