Debate has intensified in Egypt over amending the constitution to allow President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi to run for another term, despite his assurances that the constitution will not be altered and that he will hand over power in 2030. Media figures, including Mostafa Bakry, have called for him to remain in office, citing what they described as exceptional circumstances. Opponents have criticized these calls, warning that they could undermine preparations for a transfer of power and stifle political life. The 2019 amendments set presidential terms at six years, with a maximum of two consecutive terms. Under Article 226, a constitutional amendment may be proposed by the president or one-fifth of the members of the House of Representatives. It must then win the support of two-thirds of lawmakers before being put to a referendum.
