Hesham Mohamed Qandil (also spelled: Hisham Kandil; Arabic: هشام محمد قنديلpronounced[heˈʃæːmmæˈħæmmædʔænˈdiːl]; born 17 September 1962) is an Egyptian engineer and civil servant who was Prime Minister of Egypt from 2012 to 2013.[1] Qandil was appointed as Prime Minister by President Mohamed Morsi on 24 July 2012 and sworn in on 2 August 2012. Qandil previously served as Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation from 2011 to 2012.[2]
Reuters reported that Qandil was a politically independent senior public servant in the Morsi administration, but was not popularly considered to be a likely candidate for the position of prime minister.[2] Qandil was Egypt's youngest prime minister since Gamal Abdel Nasser's appointment in 1954.[3] When Morsi was overthrown in a coup d'état by the military, Qandil after initially continuing in his role as prime minister until the formation of a new government, resigned from office on 8 July 2013 in protest over the killing of 61 protestors by the military at the Republican Guard headquarters.[4] He was arrested on 24 December 2013[5] and released seven months later on 15 July 2014[6] after he was acquitted by the Court of Cassation, which accepted his appeal and annulled the one-year sentence against him.[7][8]
