EGYPT - Egypt presidential elections: Former army chief Sisi poised for victory

2014-05-26 29

Polling stations opened across Egypt this Monday for voters to choose the country's next president. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, the former army chief, is widely expected to win. If he does, he will be Egypt's fifth president to be elected from the ranks of the army. Our correspondents have been asking Egyptians of all backgrounds what the role of the army should be from now on.


Programme prepared by Narimène Laouadi, Thomas Waterhouse and Elise Duffau.
