Political campaigns for El Sisi’s reelection underway despite no declared intention to run

Political campaigns supporting President Abdel Fattah El Sisi in next year’s scheduled presidential elections are “already at work,” Italy’s ANSAmed reports. “The Free Egyptians party and the Nation's Future party (with 188 MPs, a 20% share) announced that they will hold pro-Sisi rallies in Egyptian governorates in the coming weeks.” This comes despite El Sisi not yet having confirmed plans to run.
