BEIRUT: Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea Thursday congratulated ex-Army chief Abdel Fattah al-Sisi on his recent victory in the Egyptian presidential election.
"Geagea sent a cable to [Sisi] to congratulate him on being elected ... This step meant Egyptians were committed to the right choice and it is a ray of hope for people who strive for democracy,” the letter said.
“We ask God to bestow wisdom upon [you] to restore Egypt's leading role and help you succeed in your efforts for the good of the Arab world,” he added.
Earlier this week, Sisi won 96.91 percent of the vote with a turnout of 47.5 percent, almost one year after he overthrew Islamist Mohamed Morsi.
