Sisi’s Second Term Could Be Spent Securing a Third
Sisi has essentially three choices going forward—to groom someone to take over from him following this term; to allow for the possibility of someone he doesn’t support taking over; or to aim for the removal of term limits so that he runs for a third term. I think all the signs are thus far that the last is the most likely.
