Adly Mansour is an Egyptian judge and politician who briefly served as the acting President of Egypt from July 3, 2013, to June 8, 2014. Born on December 23, 1945, in Cairo, Mansour pursued a legal career, studying law at Cairo University and obtaining a postgraduate degree in management science from Egypt's National School of Administration. He furthered his education at the École Nationale d'Administration (ENA) in France, which helped shape his expertise in administrative law and governance.
Mansour had a long judicial career, culminating in his appointment as the head of the Supreme Constitutional Court in Egypt. He assumed this position just days before being thrust into the political spotlight during a turbulent period in Egypt’s history. On July 3, 2013, following massive protests against President Mohamed Morsi, the Egyptian military, led by General Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, ousted Morsi from power. The military then appointed Mansour as interim president. Mansour's appointment was largely due to his neutral position as a judge, which was seen as essential for navigating the country through the political crisis.
As interim president, Mansour was tasked with overseeing the transition back to a stable government. His presidency was marked by efforts to stabilize the country politically and economically. A new constitution was drafted and approved via a national referendum in January 2014, which laid the groundwork for presidential elections. Mansour’s tenure ended after the election of Abdel Fattah el-Sisi as president in 2014.
Despite his brief presidency, Mansour played a significant role during a critical time in Egypt’s post-revolutionary era. He returned to his position at the Supreme Constitutional Court after el-Sisi’s election and remained an influential figure in Egypt's legal landscape. Mansour’s leadership during the transitional period was praised for its focus on restoring order, though his presidency was also part of a broader political movement that raised questions about the future of democracy in Egypt.
