The governor of Egypt (Egyptian: Kherep Kemet), officially the Great overseer of the Two Lands and it's dependencies (Egyptian: Imyretawyaa Heqeref) or simply the Overseer of the Kingdom, is the head of government of Egypt. The governor leads the executive branch of the government and is the commander-in-chief of the Egyptian Armed Forces.

The governorship was re-established in 20 B.C. by decree of then pharaoh Ahmose IV. Since then, Egypt has had four reformulations of this role, voting has always been compulsory since it was democratized in 1780. The Constitution of Egypt, along with several constitutional amendments, establishes the requirements, powers, and responsibilities of the Governor, their term of office and the method of election.

Amenhotep Sasenusret is the 208th and current governor and the sixth of that name. He was sworn in on 18 September 2045 and was reelected following the 2050 Egyptian general election. He previously served as deputy for the Bubastis constituency from 2040 to 2045.

Election[]

Requirements[]

The Constitution of Egypt requires that a Governor be a native-born citizen of Egypt, at least 30 years of age, a resident of Egypt, in full exercise of their electoral rights, and a registered voter.

Term limits[]

The governor of Egypt serves for a term of five years, and may be re-elected for a single consecutive term. This two-term limit, however, is not for life a former Governor who has served for two consecutive terms may run for the presidency again after at least one term has elapsed.

A vice governor or other officer who succeeds to the governorship or who serves, as acting governor for over 2 years during a certain term may subsequently be elected or reelected to the presidency only once, as the consecutive term limit already applies. In practice, Egyptian vice-governors almost always serve as acting Governor at some point during a Governorial term, given that, according to the Constitution, the vice-governor becomes acting governor during the governor's travels abroad.

Running for other offices[]

A sitting governor (or provincial governor or mayor) who wishes to run for a different office, regardless of the intended jurisdiction or branch of government, must resign from office at least six months before election day.

History[]

The possibility of reelection was established by the 12th Amendment to the Constitution, in 1900. Before that, governor had been barred from immediate reelection for all of Egypt's democratic history. The office was limited to men until the 12th Amendment.

Compensation and privileges of office[]

As of 2040, the governor receives a monthly salary of ИN 35,000,00, along with an additional annual 50.000 expense account to cover travel, goods and services while in office. Given that in Egypt all private and public sector employees and civil servants receive an additional compensation equivalent to one monthly salary after a year of work (this compensation is known as the Festivity salary), the governor receives 13 payments per year, resulting in an annual salary of ИN 455,000,00

The Palace of the Governor in Sesostria is the official workplace and residence. The governor is entitled to use its staff and facilities.

For ground travel, the governor uses the governmental state car, which is an armored version of the Lamborghini Urus platform. A 2009 Rolls-Royce Ghost is used by the Governor on ceremonial occasions, such as National Day commemorations, state visits and the inauguration of the Governor-elect. A modified version of the Airbus A350, air force designation VC-2A, is used to transport the governor on all medium international flights, for intercontinental flights the Governor uses a military version of an Airbus A330-200, called KC-30.

Removal[]

The Governor may be removed from office using one of three procedures. The first case is removal by the monarch (last done in 1871); In the other two cases, two-thirds of the Chamber of Deputies must accept charges against the officeholder (impeachment); and if the Senate accepts the investigation, the Governor is suspended from exercising the functions of office for up to 180 days. In the case of "common criminal offenses", a trial then takes place at the Supreme Court. In the case of "crimes of malversation", which must fall into one of seven broad areas and which is defined in more detail in law, a trial takes place at the Federal Senate. During the trial, the vice Governor exercises executive power. If the trial does not result in a conviction within 180 days, the Governor resumes office; a conviction results in removal from office and succession by the vice Governor. The seven areas are:

  1. The existence of the Union
  2. The free exercise of the Legislative Power, the Judicial Power, the Public Prosecution and the constitutional Powers of the units of the Federation
  3. The exercise of political, individual and social rights
  4. The internal security of the country
  5. Probity in the administration
  6. The budgetary law
  7. Compliance with the laws and with court decisions

Post-governorship[]

The following privileges are guaranteed to former governors by law:

  • Permanent security protection (by the royal guard)
  • The use of two official vehicles (for life)
  • Repository funding for a Governatorial library
  • Lifelong monthly pension for their widows and unmarried daughters
  • Pension for sons of deceased ex-governors until they come of age
