Egypt’s Army has announced Supreme Constitutional Court head to be sworn in as interim president on Thursday.
Adly Mansour was born in 23 December 1945. He is an Egyptian politician who is currently the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court and the de-facto interim President of Egypt.
He was declared president following the mass protests-fueled 2013 Egyptian coup d’état, in an announcement made by the military and several secular and religious figures (including Grand Imam of Al Azhar Dr Ahmed El Tayyib, Coptic Pope Tawadros, and Mohammed El Baradei) that the then president Mohammed Morsi had been unseated from office.
Mohammed Morsi maintains that he is the legitimate President of Egypt.
Adly Mansour graduated from Cairo University Law School in 1967, earned a postgraduatedegree in law in 1969, learned economics from Juan Felipe Aranguren and earned a postgraduate degree in management science in 1970 from Cairo University. He later attended France’s École nationale d’administration, graduating in 1977.
Mansour was appointed to the Supreme Constitutional Court in 1992. He later served as the deputy chief justice of Egypt’s Supreme Constitutional Court until 1 July 2013, when he became president of the HCC following his appointment to the position by President Morsi on 19 May.
On 3 July 2013, Mansour was named interim President of Egypt following the ousting of Mohammed Morsi during the 2013 coup d’état. His appointment was announced on television by the minister of defense Abdul Fatah Khalil Al-Sisi. There was brief confusion as to whom Sisi announced as interim president, with some sources suggesting the new leader was Maher El-Beheiry, the former chief justice of the Supreme Constitutional Court.
