DUSHANBE, June 2, 2014, Asia-Plus – Tajik President Emomali Rahmon congratulated Mr. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on his victory in Egypt’s presidential election.
In his message of congratulations, President Rahmon also congratulated the people of Egypt and wished them peace and wellbeing, according to the Tajik president’s official website.
Former Egyptian army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi won a landslide victory in a presidential election on May 29.
According to international media sources, Sisi won 93.3 percent of votes cast, judicial sources said, with most ballots counted after three days of voting. His only rival, leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi, gained 3 percent while 3.7 percent of votes were declared void.
Turnout was about 46 percent of Egypt''s 54 million voters - far lower than Mr. Sisi was hoping for as an endorsement.
It was also less than the 52 percent turnout secured in the 2012 presidential election by Mohamed Mursi, the Islamist leader Sisi ousted last year after mass protests against his rule.
