Hosni Mubarak came to power in Egypt in October 1981 following the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. Sadat was killed by Islamist extremists during a military parade, largely due to his policies, including the peace treaty with Israel. Mubarak, who was Sadat's Vice President, assumed the presidency and maintained a tight grip on power for nearly 30 years until he was ousted during the 2011 Arab Spring protests.

Anwar Sadat was assassinated just prior to Hosni Mubarak taking power, but the causal link goes the other direction. Hosni Mubarak became the President of Egypt because Anwar Sadat was assassinated. He was also wounded in the attack and was a close friend of Sadat's.
After Anwar Sadat was assassinated in 1981, Hosni Mubarak, who was then the Vice President of Egypt, took over the presidency. Mubarak had been a close ally of Sadat and continued many of his policies, including the peace treaty with Israel. He ruled Egypt for nearly 30 years before being ousted during the Arab Spring protests in 2011.
