The head of Egypt’s Judges Club, Ahmed El-Zend, has been appointed justice minister, the presidency said in a statement.
El-Zend made his constitutional oath before President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi on Wednesday morning.
Last week, justice minister Mahfouz Saber resigned from his position over comments that were widely seen as classist.
Minister of Transitional Justice Ibrahim El-Heneidy had taken charge of the ministry until the appointment of a new minister.
