CAIRO - Egypt will hold a presidential vote on Dec 10-12, the elections authority said on Monday, with President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi widely expected to win reelection.

Sisi, 68, can stand for a third term due to constitutional amendments in 2019 that also extended the length of presidential terms to six years from four, opening the way for him to stay in office until at least 2030.
