Abdel Fattah el-Sisi ilk kez Mayıs 2014'te Mısır Cumhurbaşkanı olarak seçildi ve büyük ölçüde rekabetsiz bir seçimde oyların yüzde 96'sından fazlasını aldı.
O zamandan beri sürekli olarak görevde kalmış ve ardışık seçim döngüleri aracılığıyla gücünü pekiştirmiştir.
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.
