Muhammad Abu El-Ela, leader of the Arab Democratic Nasserist Party, quoted by Al Ahram newspaper, stated that this formation would support the head of State for another term in office.

The Future of a Nation, holding a majority in Parliament, and the Egyptian National Movement also announced they would give their backing to El-Sisi.

Hussein Abu Al-Atta, a member of the executive bureau of the Egyptian Alliance Parties, the Congress, the El-Ghad Party, the Freedom Socialist Party, and the Free Egyptians Party, also joined the support for the president.

El-Sisi has not officially declared his intention to run for another term.

So far, at least five politicians have put their names forward for the presidential elections, among them Senator and the Republican People’s Party chief Hazem Omar.
