Even before assuming his new post as head of the Egyptian Constitutional Court, Adly Mansour has got a new job as interim president of Egypt. Mansour will likely take the oath on Thursday in front of the members of the Constitutional Court assembly, becoming the first head of the Constitutional Court, established by late president Anwar Sadat in 1979, to become an interim president. Defense Minister Abdel Fatah El Sisi has announced that Mansour will be the interim president of Egypt until early presidential election is held. He added that a roadmap for the future of Egypt also included temporarily suspending the constitution, forming a coalition government of technocrats and holding early presidential election. Mansour will go down in history as the second interim president of Egypt. In 1981 Sofi Abu Taleb, the parliament speaker, served as Egypt interim president for eight days following the assassination of Sadat. Mansour, born in 1945, is the second member of the Constitutional Court to be named its president because ousted president Hosni Mubarak used to appoint court heads from outside its assembly membership. Mansour got his BA in law in 1967 from Cairo University. He taught in the General Administration Institute between 1975 and 1977, before being appointed to the State Council in 1984. He moved up the ladder until becoming Vice President of the State Council in 1992. Between 1983 and 1990 he worked as a legal advisor in the Saudi Trade Ministry. Mansour was appointed deputy head of the constitutional court in 1992 and remained in his post until he was chosen by the court assembly as new Constitutional Court head last May. He was supposed to assume his new post as of July 1, but now instead he would serve as interim president of Egypt until early presidential election is held.
