A shuffle of the nation’s 27 governors will likely be announced after the Eid Al Adha break, an unnamed source from the Local Development Ministry tells Al Shorouk. The announcement of the shuffle has been postponed several times since reports of its imminence first broke in June, but sources had said earlier this week that as many as 12 governors could be hanging up their suits. Leading jurists were reportedly among the candidates for higher office in Giza and Upper Egypt.

President Abdel Fattah El Sisi is expected to sign next month during his visit to Beijing several cooperation agreements in the energy, education, transport, and housing sectors next month, according to a Cabinet statement.
