President Sisi of Egypt orders prime minister to form new cabinet
Egypt’s President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi reappointed Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly to form a new government with “competency and experience.”
The president's office announced the decision after Madbouly submitted his cabinet's resignation on Monday.
This is the fourth cabinet reshuffle led by Madbouly, who has been serving as prime minister since 2018.
The presidency said in a statement that the country’s priorities for the coming period, in light of the global challenges, are ensuring national security and developing human capital.
The president also said in a post on X that he assigned Madbouly to form a new government that consists of the necessary expertise and competencies to manage the next phase, in order to achieve the desired development in government performance and confront the challenges facing the state."
He said that the current government will still perform duties until a new one is formed.
Sisi was sworn in for his third term in April after sweeping to victory with 89.6% of the vote in an election last December.
He was allowed to claim the top job for the third term after Egypt’s constitution was amended in 2019, extending the presidential term to six years from four.
