(32 minutes later)
A coalition of opposition political parties has called on Egyptian voters to reject proposed constitutional amendments that would allow President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to stay in power until 2030. The three-day referendum starts on Saturday. The Civil Democratic Movement, which includes liberal and left-leaning parties, on Thursday decried the amendments, AP said. “We want people to go and say no,” said Abdel-Aziz al-Husseini of the Karam party. Another opposition leader, Khaled Dawood, said that if the amendments pass, “our dream and hope to have a president who is elected once every two terms have come to an end.” A coalition of opposition political parties has called on Egyptian voters to reject proposed constitutional amendments that would allow President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi to stay in power until 2030.
