President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi of Egypt was on Tuesday, April 2, 2018 re-elected to office after winning 97 percent of the total votes (he got 21.8 million votes while his opponent got 656,534 votes). According to our (Viewers Corner News) correspondent in Cairo (Egypt), the turnout of the polling station was low (41 percent) compared to the 47 percent turnout in the 2014 elections when Sisi won his first term. President Sisi had only one opponent (Moussa Mostafa Moussa), all serious opponents withdrew from the race and stopped campaigning in January. In 2013, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi led a military overthrow of Mohamed Mursi (first elected president of Egypt) after several protests against Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood and a year later he won the presidential election with 97 percent of the vote.
