This became known from Aljazeera. At the same time, the President of Egypt noted that this is not a statement for television, it is primarily the principles that he uses.
He also said that the presidential elections should be held in Egypt in March or April 2018. However, the president did not directly point to his plans to participate in this election.
According to the constitution, the president of Egypt can only once again restore a four-year term - that is, a maximum of eight years in office.
By the way, in February the deputy Ismail Nasreddin proposed to continue the presidential term to six years, but then rejected the proposal in a few months.
Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform," the State Border Service for three years banned the entry into Ukraine of an Egyptian citizen who three times illegally visited the temporarily occupied Crimea.
