Meanwhile, Emad El Din Hussein brings a more confident tone<\/a> to the pages of the same newspaper, saying that El Sisi will run for and win a second presidential term, but will need to focus his efforts on ensuring a high enough turnout rate in the elections to make his win legitimate. Hussein suggests that the president will formally announce his nomination early next year, when he is scheduled to present a report on his progress and achievements over the past three years. He notes that many of the president\u2019s major projects are scheduled for completion around the same time, which will give his credibility as a competent ruler a considerable boost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
