#Egypt extends presidential vote to Wednesday amid low turnout

Egypt’s #presidential_election was extended by a day on Tuesday in an effort to boost lower than expected turnout that threatened to undermine the credibility of the front-runner, former army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi. After #Sisi called for record voter participation, low turnout would be seen at home and abroad as an immediate setback for the field marshal who toppled Egypt’s first freely elected leader, the #Muslim_Brotherhood's Mohammed Mursi.
