Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has been reelected for a third, six-year term in office. He has ruled Egypt with an iron fist since seizing power from Islamists a decade ago, but now faces mounting frustration over an economic crisis.
Election authorities announced in Cairo on Monday that al-Sisi recorded a landslide victory, securing 89.6 percent of the vote, with a turnout of 66.8 percent of more than 67 million registered voters.
