Egypt held Presidential elections from 10-12 December 2023. The UK did not take part in formal election observation but encouraged free and fair elections. While a number of opposition candidates ran against President Abd El Fattah El-Sisi without issue, some claimed that they had faced obstacles to participating in the run up to the election. With 66.8 percent of the population voting, President Sisi secured 89.6 percent of the votes.
