Abdel Fattah el-Sisi został po raz pierwszy wybrany Prezydentem Egiptu w maju 2014 roku, zwyciężając z ponad 96 procent głosów w dużej mierze niekwestionowanych wyborach.
Pozostał na stanowisku nieprzerwanie od tego czasu, konsolidując władzę poprzez kolejne cykle wyborcze.
Sisi ran as a military backed candidate following the 2013 removal of Mohamed Morsi. His initial election reflected broad public support for security focused governance after years of instability under the Muslim Brotherhood government and the preceding Hosni Mubarak regime.
As of 2026, Sisi maintains Egypt's presidency amid significant regional challenges. Egypt faces pressures from conflicts in neighboring states, including potential spillover effects from Ethiopia's ongoing instability, as documented in recent declarations by African leaders monitoring regional escalation. Domestically, Sisi's current influence score remains limited at 3 out of 100 on international geopolitical metrics, reflecting constraints on his ability to project power beyond Egypt's borders despite his firm domestic control.
