Egyptian Elections – level 2

05-04-2018 07:00

Egypt is electing a new president and the government sent tens of thousands of soldiers to every polling station. They are there to provide protection for 60 million voters – there were attacks on voters in the past. The government hopes that the presidential elections will be legitimate if enough people come.

The current president, Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, is running for president again and people think that he will win. As he has only one person running against him. People say that he used force to make other people running against him give up.

Difficult words: elect (vote, choose), polling station (a place where you can vote), legitimate (seen as true).

You can watch the original video in the Level 3 section.
