Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi has announced his re-election bid for a third term in office in the upcoming polls scheduled for December. "Just as I responded to the call of the Egyptians before, today I respond to their call once again, and I announce that I'm determined to nominate myself for a new presidential term," Sisi, who assumed power in 2014 in the aftermath of the 2013 coup, announced on Monday.
