House Rep. Ismail Nasr Eldeen is now retreating further from his proposal to extend the presidential term to six years from four, saying that constitutional amendments will not be discussed in the House this year, according to Al Shorouk. The rep had pledged to take the matter to the House once it reconvenes in the fall and had stated that his proposed amendments would not apply to President Abdel Fattah El Sisi’s current term.
