Egypt’s electoral body has started counting votes following the conclusion of polling in the presidential elections.
Voting began on Sunday and ended at 21:00 local time on Tuesday (19:00 GMT), with more than 67 million people registered to vote.
Incumbent President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi is seeking a third consecutive term.
Although three other candidates are vying for the presidency, many Egyptians believe Mr Sisi will easily win a new six-year term in office.
Early provisional results have already placed Mr Sisi in the lead.
The official results are set to be announced on 18 December.
