(UTV|COLOMBO) – Egyptians begin three days of voting on Monday to elect a new president in an election expected to produce a landslide for the sitting president.
There are few doubts that incumbent Abdul Fattah al-Sisi will win after most opposition candidates withdrew.
The only other candidate is little-known centrist politician Mousa Mostafa Mousa.
But Mr Mousa is known to be a supporter of the current leader, and has said he supports Mr Sisi’s re-election.
Egypt, population 84 million, is the largest Arab country and has played a central role in Middle Eastern politics in modern times.
