President of Egypt

The president of the Arab Republic of Egypt (Egyptian Arabic: رئيس جمهورية مصر العربية, romanized: Ra'īs gumhūriyyat Miṣr al-ʻArabiyyah) is the head of state of Egypt. Under the various iterations of the Constitution of Egypt following the Egyptian revolution of 1952, the president is also the supreme commander of the Armed Forces, and head of the executive branch of the Egyptian government.

As the presidency is the supreme magistracy of the country, the position is the highest office in Egypt. The powers, functions and duties of prior presidential offices, in addition to their relation with the prime minister and government of Egypt, have over time differed with the various constitutional documents.

Six presidents took over the presidency of Egypt after the abolition of the monarchy in 1953, in periods that included short transitional periods. The first was Mohamed Naguib, followed by Gamal Abdel Nasser, and Anwar Sadat. He was followed by Hosni Mubarak, and then Mohamed Morsi. The current president is Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, who has been in office since 8 June 2014.
