The slogan: Long Live Egypt.
This is Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the Egyptian general who oversaw the ouster of Mohammed Morsi in July 2013 and, after nearly a year as Egypt's de facto leader, is expected to win this month's presidential election. Now he's even started campaigning.
He kicked it off this week with his first official campaign interview, pre-taped and aired in two parts on Monday and Tuesday night. Sisi fans were pumped. Others doubted if the general would actually have something new to say.
Interviewing Sisi were two popular faces from Egypt's decidedly pro-Sisi talk show scene. Here is Ibrahim Eissa, once one of Egypt's most outspoken critics of ousted president Hosni Mubarak, now recognizable for his suspenders and flip flopping views.
And Lamees Hadidi, a presenter on Egypt's CBC channel and a frequent target of satirist Bassem Youssef's jokes for her anti-revolution stance. Hadidi was Mubarak's spokesperson for his 2005 election, which, much like now, was won before voting began.
