Egyptian president appoints 18 new governors
Posted: Tue Aug 13, 2013 8:56 pm
Eighteen new governors were sworn in before Interim President Adly Mansour on Tuesday afternoon.
Eighteen out of the country's 27 governorates have been assigned new governors. The government has yet to settle on choices for two governorates, the Red Sea and Menoufiya, after the nominees for the posts reportedly declined.
Governorates that have seen new leaders include Cairo, Alexandria, Luxor and the Nile Delta towns.
The shake-up also entails the appointment of nine deputy governors.
Egypt's previous gubernatorial reshuffle took place in June, a few weeks before Islamist president Mohamed Morsi was forced out from power by Egypt's military following nationwide protests against his one-year rule.
Seven Islamists were appointed out of a total of 17 new governors.
The 25 governors now holding posts are:
Cairo: Galal Mostafa Mohamed Said
Giza: Ali Abdel Rahman Youssef
Alexandria: Tarek Mahdy Adel Tawab
South Sinai: Khaled Fouda Seddik
North Sinai: Abdel Fattah Salem Harhour
