El-Sissi Sworn In As President Of Egypt

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 08 Juni 2014 | 16.15

Egypt's former army chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi has been sworn in as president for a four-year term.

The inauguration comes less than a year after the army ousted Mohammed Morsi, the Islamist who was the country's first freely elected leader.

El-Sissi, 59, took his oath live on television at the headquarters of the Supreme Constitutional Court in a suburb south of Cairo. 

Sunday has been declared a national holiday but tight security is in place across the Egyptian capital.

The last year has seen repeated violent clashes between the army regime and supporters of Mr Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood.

El-Sissi was named president after a landslide election victory at the end of May where he won 96.9% of the vote.

The retired field marshal ousted Mohammed Morsi following mass protests against his regime in June last year. Mr Morsi is now on trial for charges that carry the death penalty.

Palestinian president Mahmoud Abbas, Arab royals and African leaders are among the guests at a reception being held at Cairo's presidential palace.
