16-Ibrahim al Shehawy for Menoufiya

17-Ahmed Abdul Al Ansary for Fayoum

Moreover, Sisi is set to hold a meeting with the newly appointed governors and their deputies after swearing oath.

It is worth mentioning that, Egypt is set to see a large-scale cabinet reshuffle of at least 10 ministers of Moustafa Madbouly’s government this week, according to parliamentary sources.

In statements, MP Mohamed Abdel Ghani said that the reshuffle comes, at this specific time, in response to people’s sense of dissatisfaction with the performance of the government, and the lack of a clear improvement in the living standards of most citizens.

He anticipated changes to ministries of supply, health, finance, trade and industry, planning, housing, higher education, local development, education, and social solidarity.

The government previously received a vote of confidence from parliament in July 2018.
