-

An Egyptian woman dances before a large national flag in Cairo’s northern suburb of Shubra al-khaymah on the second day of voting in the 2018 presidenti­al elections. Incumbent president Abdel Fattah el-sisi, who is running for a second and final term, looks certain to win after voting finishes today. His only challenger, Moussa Mustafa Moussa, is a little-known politician who joined the race at the last minute. Authoritie­s hope enough eligible voters will participat­e in the election to give it legitimacy.
