A handful of party leaders have said they had already gathered the necessary 20 nominations from parliament. Presidential hopeful Tantawi has repeatedly accused the regime of harassing and detaining his supporters, preventing them from filing nominations and tapping his phone. Under Sisi, a former army chief who has overseen a crackdown jailing tens of thousands of dissidents, protests have been banned.Sisi announced his candidacy at the end of a three-day conference entitled “Story of a Nation”, where remarks he made earlier ruffled feathers among Egyptians, buckling under the weight of record-breaking 39.7-per cent inflation.
“I’m in shock, usually we get electoral promises, even if they’re fake, but now he’s offering us a famine,” one user wrote.
