Adly Mahmoud Mansour (Arabic: عدلى محمود منصور, pronounced [ˈʕædli mæħˈmuːd mɑnˈsˤuːɾ]; born 23 December 1945)[1][2] is an Egyptian judge and politician who served as the president (or chief justice) of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt.[3] He also served as interim president of Egypt from 4 July 2013 to 8 June 2014 following the 2013 Egyptian coup d'état by the military which deposed President Mohamed Morsi. Several secular and religious figures, such as the Grand Imam of al-Azhar (Ahmed el-Tayeb), the Coptic Pope (Tawadros II), and Mohamed ElBaradei supported the coup against President Morsi and the military appointed Mansour interim-president until an election could take place.[4][5][6] Morsi refused to acknowledge his removal as valid and continued to maintain that only he could be considered the legitimate President of Egypt.[7] Mansour was sworn into office in front of the Supreme Constitutional Court on 4 July 2013.[8]
