El Sisi issues presidential decree keeping governors in place

No shakeup of governors … for now: President Abdel Fattah has decided to keep the nation’s governors in place for the time being pending a wider shuffle, according to a presidential decree published in the Official Gazette yesterday. It is unclear when the new appointments are anticipated. The Local Administration Act stipulates that governors and their deputies resign from their posts at the beginning of a new presidential term. El Sisi officially began his second presidential term on Saturday.
