*Egypt announces date for presidential election *
Egypt
will hold a presidential election on March 26-28, with the incumbent Abdel
Fattah Al-Sisi widely expected to seek a second term in office.
Sisi, who won a landslide victory after he led the military overthrow of elected President Mohamed Mursi in 2013, has yet to announce his candidacy.
Candidates must submit their official bids to the commission between Jan 20-29. Announcing the date, the national election commission said a run-off would be held on April 24-26 if needed.
It will be Egypt's third election since the 2011 uprising which ended Hosni Mubarak's long rule.
