Egyptian President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi was re-elected with 97 percent of votes, official results revealed on Monday.
The head of the election authority Lasheen Ibrahim said at a press conference that turnout was 41.05 percent of the almost 60 million registered voters.
The election featured only one other candidate - himself an ardent Sisi supporter - after all serious opposition contenders halted their campaigns in January.
Sisi won a total of 21.8 million votes compared with 656,534 for his opponent, Moussa Mostafa Moussa, whose tally was less than the 1.8 million spoiled ballots.
The election commission said the vote was free and fair as it gave the results in a televised announcement on Monday.
"These are momentous moments for this nation...which will be written in letters of light, under the title: battle for the love of Egypt," Ibrahim said.
"The entire world heard your chants for the love of Egypt," he said.
US President Donald Trump later contacted Sisi to congratulate him on his victory, Egypt’s MENA news agency reported.
During voting last week, the US embassy in Cairo said on Twitter it was “impressed by the enthusiasm and patriotism of Egyptian voters”.
Russia congratulated Sisi on his election win ahead of the official results.
Sisi, a former career army officer, was born in November 1954 in El-Gamaleya neighborhood in the heart of Cairo.
He graduated from Egypt's Military Academy in 1977, later studying in Britain and the United States, before becoming military intelligence chief under president Hosni Mubarak who was toppled in a January 2011 uprising.
