Suez Canal city Ismailia witnessed a bike marathon on Sunday in support of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi in the upcoming presidential election, which take place between March 26-28. The marathon ended with a group photo with Ismailia Governor Yassin Taher. Sisi himself was the first Egyptian leader to take part in a marathon, which took place during the Sharm El-Sheikh conference. Just two days ago, the ‘Supporting Sisi’ campaign in Damietta organised a marathon to back Sisi for a second term. The Egyptian presidential elections will take place between Sisi and sole competitor Moussa Mostafa Moussa from the Ghad Party.
