CAIRO – 17 March 2018: A huge number of Egyptians living abroad went to Egyptian embassies and consulates to cast their vote in the 2018 presidential election on its second day.Many scenes were highlighted through the election process, but the most inspiring scenes were for people with disabilities and old age who were keen to participate in their country’s future despite the challenges they may face.A young Egyptian with a physical disability in Australia traveled a long distance to vote in the Egyptian consulate in Sidney. He told journalists that he exerted many efforts to partake in the election and that he supports President Abdel Fatah al-Sisi, who is running for a second term against politician Moussa Moustafa Moussa.The Egyptian community in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait flocked in large numbers to vote in the presidential election. Many were seen holding Egyptian flags and wearing t-shirts with the name of Egypt. Again, there was an encouraging scene of a young Egyptian with a physical disability who lives in KSA and insisted on going to the Egyptian embassy in Riyadh to vote, as there is a remarkable improvement in the care of people with disabilities in terms of accessibility at polling stations.Wheel chairs didn’t prevent old ladies from being part of their country’s future, either.
