Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi has publicly declared that he will step down from power in 2030, marking the conclusion of his current leadership. During a graduation ceremony at the Egyptian Military Academy, Sisi emphasized that the national constitution would remain unchanged, effectively putting to rest any speculation regarding potential further amendments to extend his time in office. He stated firmly that the matter is settled and will not be up for future debate.

Currently 71, Sisi is serving a six-year term that began following his re-election in December 2023. This timeline was established following a 2019 constitutional referendum, which adjusted presidential terms from four to six years and provided the legal framework for his third term. A former general who ascended to the presidency in 2013 after the ousting of Mohamed Mursi, Sisi’s reiteration of his 2030 exit date serves as a definitive roadmap for the remainder of his administration.
