El-Sisi vows to build national partnership, include youth
The winner of the presidential election has said that he will 'have no time for differences and engaging in battles'
Ahram Online Published in Ahram Online on 30 - 05 - 2014

Egypt's next president, former military chief Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi, told a Kuwaiti news website that he will not allow a return to the autocracy of the past during his term.
In his first public comments since unofficial vote tallies showed that he had won in excess of 90 percent of the votes in this week's presidential election, El-Sisi told Al-Jornal website thathe would fight until he "fulfills the priorities of security and stability," pledging not to exclude anyone when appointed president.
The retired field marshal had previously said he would "finish off" the Muslim Brotherhood of ousted president Mohamed Morsi if he were to become president. The group has been decimated by a government crackdown that has seen hundreds of supporters killed and thousands of others jailed.
The crackdown, which has also extended to leading secular activists at the forefront of the 2011 uprising, fueled concerns about a slide back into autocracy under longtime strongman Hosni Mubarak who was toppled in a popular revolt in 2011.
In a bid to allay such fears, El-Sisi promised "no going back [to the past days]. We will move forward. We have no time for differences and engaging in battles."
"We seek a real national partnership that satisfies all Egyptians and placates and contains the youth," he added in comments reported by Al-Jornal on Friday.
El-Sisi garnered approximately 93 percent of ballots cast in the three-day presidential vote that concluded on Wednesday, according to preliminary counts. Leftist politician Hamdeen Sabahi, El-Sisi's sole rival, gained a modest three percent, while 3.7 percent of the votes were declared void.
Sabahi,a longtime opposition figure, conceded defeat Thursday but express doubt over the estimated turnout of 46 percent, particularly after a vote extension for an extra day by authorities.
The official results of the elections are due on 3-4 June.
