The replacement to replace the overthrown Egyptian President will be decided in late May, Egyptian media reported Sunday.

After the Egyptian army overthrew Mohamed Morsi in July 2013, Adly Monsour was named interim head of state.

Protests followed Morsi's ousting, and at least 14 were killed.

Now, General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, who helped overthrow Morsi, is running for his spot and is expected to win it.

Sisi will need at least 50 percent of the votes in May; if unsuccessful, a second round of voting will take place June 16-17.

So far, only one other individual has announced their candidacy. That was Hamdeen Sabahi, who came in third place in the 2012 elections.

From Morsi's overthrow to the present time, Egypt has seen over 1,000 people killed and thousands of Morsi's supporters detained.

Morsi and his supporters are members of the Muslim Brotherhood, an organization designated as an Islamic terrorist organziation.

Sisi will resign as Egpyt's defense minister in order to run for president.

Supporters of Sisi view him as a savior to Egpyt, but the Islamic opponents view him as a threat.

The results of the late May election will be announced no later than June 5.

If Sisi wins, he'll have a tough road ahead of him. He said he would crackdown on the large amount of militant attacks that have occurred since Morsi's removal.

Besides the violence and unrest, Egypt's economy is struggling due to the three years of political uncertainity.

If Sisi wins the election, Egypt's leadership will go back to the leadership it's accustomed to: men from the military.
