Egyptian MP Mostafa Bakri on Saturday elaborated on the statements he made about holding the Egyptian presidential elections before the end of this year. Bakri explained that the results of the 2018 presidential elections were announced in April of the same year, which means that the presidential elections must be held before the end of this year based on the constitutional text. He confirmed that the upcoming presidential elections will be held under judicial supervision, which will practically end in January, noting the need to hold elections before this date. “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.
