Abdel Fattah el-Sissi won re-election as Egypt's president in a landslide.
Egypt's state-run newspaper reported the preliminary results show Sissi won more than 90 percent of the vote.
The three-day election concluded Wednesday. Even though some voters said they were paid to go to the polls, turnout was reportedly not very high — just around 40 percent.
As Newsy previously reported, Sissi's win was practically a foregone conclusion.
Since several potential rival candidates were sidelined leading up to the election, Sissi's only actual challenger on the ballot was one of his supporters.
