The Embassy of the Republic of Liberia near Cairo honored the Egyptian Government’s request to observe the voting process during the country’s presidential elections, and H.E. Alexander H.N. Wallace, III, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, visited two polling precincts in Cairo where he observed the casting of ballots.

Voting in Egypt’s Presidential Elections commenced on 26 May 2014 and will end on 27 May 2014 as scheduled by the Presidential Elections Commission.

The only two contenders are Hamdeen Sabbahi, leftist politician, and Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, retired Field Marshal and former Defense Minister.

This is Egypt’s second presidential election since the revolution that ousted President Hosny Mubarak in February 2011 and the first since the removal of President Mohamed Morsi in July 2013.
