Egyptian president al-Asisi has won re-election. He won this second four-year term with 97% of the national vote. This unprecedented landslide comes after an election cycle filled with the withdrawals of most opposition leaders. The only other candidate, Mousa Mostafa Mousa, got less than 4% of the vote. Overall turnout was at 41%. The significant disparity between the final poll numbers indicate the corruption of the Al-Asis administration. Considering Egypt’s past with the Arab spring, it would be interesting to see if Egyptian citizens see this “election” as significant.
