Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi was sworn in on Saturday before the parliament for a second four-year term in office, state-run Nile TV reported.
Sisi won 97 percent of the vote in a landslide re-election victory, with a turnout of 41 percent, beating his sole rival Moussa Mostafa Moussa.
Sisi was first elected in 2014, also with 97 percent, with a 47-percent turnout in the election.
Under the Egyptian constitution, the country’s president must take the oath before a special session of the parliament after winning elections and before his presidential term officially starts, which in El-Sisi’s case begins on June 3.
El-Sisi’s re-election was widely expected, as his only rival in the vote, Mousa Mostafa Mousa, was a little-known figure who had previously supported his re-election.
He will be in office until 2022.
