On 7 June 2018, President Sisi appointed Madbouly as prime minister, succeeding Sherif Ismail who had resigned in the wake of Sisi's re-election in the controversial presidential election. [9] On 9 June, Prime Minister Madbouly reshuffled Egypt's cabinet, replacing eight ministers. [10] It was also reported the same day that the Egyptian Parliament had agreed to his new list of Cabinet Ministers. [11] On 10 June, it was revealed that eight women would serve in his Cabinet, breaking the previous administration's record number of six. [12] [13] On 13 June, it was reported that Madbouly had selected 13 to 16 deputy ministers and that Madbouly and his government would be sworn in by Sisi on 14 June. [14] Madbouly and his cabinet were sworn in by Sisi on 14 June. [15] He will also maintain his position as Housing Minister. [16] It was reported that government would issue its policy statement on 23 June, [17] [18] [19] [20] but parliamentary spokesman Salah Hassaballah stated these reports to be incorrect.

[21] On 30 June it was announced that Madbouly would present its policy statement on 3 July, in order to comply with the Constitutional 20-day deadline upon Cabinet formation. [22]
On 3 July 2018, Madbouly officially issued his policy statement to the Egyptian parliament. [23] In the statement, he declared that 85% of his economic reform programme had been accomplished. [23] The statement was then sent to a parliament committee chaired by a House deputy speaker, which will afterwards be followed by a vote of confidence. [22] Article 146 of the constitution stipulates that a newly appointed prime minister must deliver a policy statement before parliament, after which MPs should vote on the policy, in a process that ends within 30 days. [24] On 11 July 2018, First deputy speaker of Egypt's parliament Al-Sayed Al-Sherif, who headed the parliamentary committee tasked with reviewing the Madbouly's policy statement, announced that his committee had completed its review of the statement and recommended a vote of confidence in favor for 15 July.
