Egypt President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi Secures Third Term Amid Controversy

Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi won a third term on Monday with 89.6% of the vote in an election criticised for lacking viable contenders, amid economic challenges and concerns over the Israel-Gaza conflict. Reports of voter bussing, food bag distribution and employer pressure were denied by authorities, while analysts said the military-dominated governance structure was unlikely to change.
