During a speech at the Egyptian Military Academy, President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi addressed the future of his leadership, explicitly stating that his presidency is scheduled to end in 2030. Sisi sought to quell speculation regarding his political future by asserting that the Egyptian constitution will remain unchanged. He characterized the timeline for his departure from office as a settled issue that is not open for further discussion.

This announcement serves as a formal commitment to the current constitutional framework, which limits presidential terms. By framing the transition as a definitive conclusion to his time in office, Sisi appears to be responding to domestic and international questions regarding potential efforts to extend his rule beyond the 2030 deadline. While the president’s remarks provide a clear timeline, the report from Middle East Eye notes that the declaration was made in a military setting, underscoring the role of the armed forces in the current political climate. No further details regarding potential successors or the specific political transition process were provided in the president's address.
