Egyptian MP and journalist Mostafa Bakri said that presidential elections will be held in Egypt before the end of this year, instead of the previous date that was scheduled for the middle of next year. “The Egyptian state has decided that there will be presidential elections before the end of this year,” Bakri said in his show “Facts and Secrets” broadcast on “Sada al-Balad” TV channel. “The Egyptian state is exposed to malicious campaigns and rumors… the upcoming presidential elections will be under full judicial supervision,” he added. Judicial supervision on the presidential elections will not be available in Egypt by next year. The president in Egypt is elected for a six-year term, and he may not hold the presidency for more than two consecutive presidential terms.
