Critics say Egypt poll is foregone conclusion

With only two candidates running in Egypt’s presidential election on Monday, critics say the campaign is just a formality to lend legitimacy to last year’s overthrow of Mohamed Morsi by the army.

Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the former defence minister who is running against Hamdeen Sabbahi, a candidate in the 2012 presidential election, is widely expected to win the poll.
