Who is the President of Egypt in 2013?

Answer 1

Ahmed Nazif was the Prime Minister of Egypt at the start of 2011. Nazif was replaced by Ahmed Mohamed Shafik on January 31, who in turn was replaced on March 3 by Essam Abdel-Aziz Sharaf who resigned on November 21 and was replaced by Kamal Ganzouri on December 7.

Nazif was appointed by President Hosni Mubarak on 2004 July 14, having previously been the Minister of Communications since October 5. During his term as Prime Minister, he would also serve with future PM Sharaf, a professor turned politican. Sharaf occupied the post of Minister of Transportation from 2004 June to 2005 December, before resigning due to ideological conflicts with Nazif. Sharaf would return to work as a professor and political advisor.

Later during the Egyptian protests of 2011, Nazif was sacked by Mubarak in an attempt to appease protestors. Nazif was replaced with Ahmed Shafik, a former Army general and formerly Minister of Civil Aviation. However, this would not satisfy the protesters, and on February 11 Mubarak resigned as president, ending almost 30 years of rule. Amidst changing power structures, Prime Minister Shafik was forced to resign too, and Essam Sharaf was asked by the military to become the next Prime Minister.

Essam Sharaf was a professor at Cairo University. Sharaf was previously the Minister of Transportation from 2004 June to 2005 December, before resigning and returning to work as a professor and political advisor. However Sharaf was forced to resign, and the military chose Kamal Ganzouri as the next prime minister. Ganzouri previously served as the 45th Prime Minister of Egypt from 1996 January 2 to 1999 October 5. Ganzouri would serve until 2012 August 2 when a new president was elected and a new prime minister appointed.

Answer 2

Ahmed Nazif was the Prime Minister of Egypt in 2006.

Nazif was appointed by President Hosni Mubarak on 2004 July 14, having previously been the Minister of Communications since October 5. He replaced Atef Muhammad Ebeid after his government lost confidence.

Later during the Egyptian protests of 2011, Nazif was sacked by Mubarak in an attempt to appease protestors on 2011 January 31. Nazif was replaced with Ahmed Shafik, a former Army general and formerly Minister of Civil Aviation. However, this would not satisfy the protesters, and on February 11 Mubarak resigned as president, ending almost 30 years of rule. Amidst changing power structures, Prime Minister Shafik was forced to resign too, and Essam Sharaf was asked by the military to become the next Prime Minister.

As a result of the revolution, Nazif was arrested on 2011 April 11, and charged with corruption and wasting public money.

Answer 3

Mohamed Morsi is the President of Egypt in 2013. Elected in the 2012 June presidential election following Mubarak's resignation, Morsi beat out Ahmed Shafik, in the presidential run-off election. Morsi officially became President of Egypt on 2012 June 30. Morsi resigned as leader of the Freedom and Justice Party after being elected, the FJP being an Islamic party with strong ties to the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt. As Shafik was previously Mubarak's Prime Minister, the run-off election was cast as a battle between the old politicians and Muslims.

Morsi is Egypt's fifth president and first democratically elected President. His term will expire on 2016 June 30.

Answer 4

Adly Mansour is the Acting President of Egypt in 2014. He became Acting President of Egypt on 2013 July 4 after President Mohamed Morsi was deposed by the military.
