Head of state
Sourced
The official cabinet pages (State Information Service, cabinet.gov.eg, presidency.eg) returned errors to automated access on 13 October 2026, so the record is sourced rather than verified. The CIA World Leaders list (last updated 2 June 2026) names Mohamed Abbas Helmy as Minister of Civil Aviation, but Daily News Egypt reported Sameh El-Hefny in the post on 12 September 2026; the later report is used. Transliterations of names vary between sources.
