Opposition parties are urging Egyptians to vote against constitutional amendments that would potentially allow President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi to remain in power until 2034.

Several political parties, including many born out of the 2011 pro-democracy uprising, took part in a press conference on Wednesday decrying the amendments. Parliament is packed with el-Sisi supporters who back the amendments, which would have to be approved in a nationwide referendum. The referendum is expected to be held in the coming weeks.
