- Egypt is set to hold a presidential election in December, with President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi likely to remain in power until 2030. The election will take place over three days, and Egyptian expatriates will vote in December, with the runoff scheduled for January.

- The board of trustees of National Dialogue, a forum set up by el-Sissi, has called for reforms to ensure a fair and competitive election with multiple candidates. This reflects a push for greater inclusivity and democratic practices in Egypt's political system.
