Global press calls election for El Sisi

The foreign press is calling the election for President El Sisi, six days ahead of the official announcement: El Sisi is “cruising” to a third term in office, writes Reuters, while the Associated Press says he’s “almost certain” to win. There’s “no suspense over the winner,” declares a headline in the New York Times.

Meanwhile-Bloomberg picks up on one of the more unusual sights being emphasized by the domestic press: the sight of Egyptian newlyweds turning up to vote.
