​Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi settled the debate regarding his presidential term on Saturday, confirming that the year 2030 marks the definitive end of his presidency in Egypt, and that the matter is closed and non-negotiable.
​Al-Sisi's remarks came during his attendance at a graduation ceremony for new cohorts from the Military Academy and colleges. He indicated that the decision to leave office by 2030 is entirely settled, reaffirming his full commitment not to leave the state except while it is thriving with its citizens and robust institutions capable of continuing the path of development and stability.
​The Egyptian President stressed that the primary goal during the upcoming phase is to solidify the state's foundation and empower young national cadres across various sectors, ensuring a smooth transition and the entrenching of Egyptian state institutions.
​Al-Sisi stated, "My duty is to preserve the state and hand over its banner held high and fluttering," noting that the armed forces are the fundamental pillar of national security and the shield and sword of the nation.
​He explained that safeguarding the armed forces is a national duty incumbent upon all Egyptians, pointing out that protecting the homeland is a shared responsibility that begins with the family, which has been and remains the primary pillar in human building.
​Al-Sisi emphasized that the awareness of Egyptians has always served as an impenetrable fortress that preserved the state's cohesion, affirming that national cohesion and unity of ranks will remain decisive factors in protecting the homeland.
​Last Wednesday, Al-Sisi stated during an educational seminar that "the state has a constitution that we agreed upon (...) no one will touch it," in a remark that appeared to close the door on any potential constitutional amendments to grant him the right to run for a new term.
​Under the current constitution, Al-Sisi, 71, is ineligible to run in the next presidential elections.
