双语新闻：预计塞西将赢得埃及总统选举 Sissi Expected to Win as Egyptians Cast Final Presidential Votes

埃及总统选举正在进行第二天、也就是最后一天的投票，预计前陆军参谋长塞西将当选总统。

埃及总理马赫拉布星期二宣布将星期二定于全国假日，以便更多的人参加投票。

正式计票结果下星期才能揭晓，但人们广泛认为塞西很可能赢得选举。参加这次总统选举只有两名候选人，另一个是左翼政治家萨巴希。

在塞西主导下，埃及军方去年7月罢黜了穆尔西总统，从而引发穆尔西所属的穆斯林兄弟会举行抗议，军方对抗议者进行暴力镇压，造成1千多人死亡。多名穆兄会领导人被逮捕。塞西说，这个伊斯兰组织在埃及没有前途。

穆兄会号召埃及民众抵制选举，声称这次选举是非法的。

Egyptians are voting for a second and final day in a presidential election that is expected to bring former army chief Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi to power.

Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab declared Tuesday a public holiday in a push for more people to go to the polls.

Official results are not due to come out until next week, but Sissi has long been considered the likely winner in a race with leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi as the only other candidate.

Sissi led the army's ouster of former president Mohamed Morsi last July, setting off protests from Mr. Morsi's Muslim Brotherhood and a violent military crackdown that left more than 1,000 people dead. Many of the Brotherhood's leaders have also been arrested and Sissi says the Islamist group has no future in Egypt.

The Brotherhood urged Egyptians to boycott what the group says is an illegitimate election.
