Dr Kamal al-Ganzoury has been appointed by the Military Council as the new Prime Minister and assigned with forming a new cabinet.
As head of the new cabinet, he is charged with running the country for the remaining period of time until a president is elected and overseeing the smooth running of the parliamentary elections starting this Monday 28th November.
Dr Ganzoury headed the Egyptian cabinet from 1996-1999 and, even though he is widely seen as an honest politician, the fact that he was in office with the Mubarak regime has bred antagonism and dissent among the revolutionaries in Tahrir Square, a large sector of whom reject his appointment.
