Ibrahim Roshdy Mahlab (Arabic: إبراهيم رشدى محلب pronounced [ebɾɑˈhiːm ˈɾoʃdi ˈmæħlæb]; born 8 May[citation needed] 1949) is an Egyptian politician who was the Prime Minister of Egypt from 1 March 2014[1] until 19 September 2015.[2] Previously he served as Minister of Housing.[3]
Career[edit]
Mahlab was a member of the Policies Committee of the National Democratic Party prior to the 2011 Egyptian revolution.[4] Following the 2013 Egyptian coup d'etat, Hazem el-Beblawi was made interim Prime Minister and Mahlab was appointed as Minister of Housing.[3] Following the surprise resignation of el-Beblawi's government, Mahlab was tasked with forming an interim government.[5] He said that his administration would "work together to restore security and safety to Egypt and crush terrorism in all corners of the country." He also vowed to rebuild the economy.[6] The day after being sworn in he said that security is the main issue and called for a halt to protests and strikes.[1]
While as Prime Minister he worked with high up officials of the Egyptian Coptic Church, including Pope Tawadros II.[7][8]
He was reappointed on 17 June 2014[9] and resigned on 12 September 2015, though the cabinet remained in their posts[10] until a new government was formed.[2]
Personal life[edit]
Mahlab is married and speaks Arabic, English, and French.[11]
