Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi fuels Egypt election boycott despite expected cakewalk

Washington Times

Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Siss's purge of his leading rivals ahead of the country's election next month looks like a Middle Eastern autocrat's standard move, but it has watchers puzzled:.

Solution

The actions taken by the Egyptian president show that democracy in Egypt is in peril. Egypt needs to install a dual leader system, limiting the president to a single 5-year term with no eligibility for him/her or relatives for 6 years and putting the prime minister in charge of government operations and national defense, In addition, 1/4 of all lawmakers should face election each year. When the actions of the president are unconstitutional, the people are obliged to resist. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development for details.
