The New Administrative Capital is gearing up for the Tuesday inauguration ceremony to mark the beginning of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi’s new presidential term, one of the most significant events in the new capital’s history.
The House of Representatives will host the swearing-in session at its new headquarters in the New Administrative Capital. Khaled Abbas, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Administrative Capital Company for Urban Development, announced in press statements that the ceremony will kick off with the House of Representatives session on Tuesday.
Following the session, President Sisi will take the constitutional oath before the House, visit the memorial monument to lay wreaths, and then raise the Egyptian flag. Abbas further mentioned that after the conclusion of the inauguration ceremony, the presidential headquarters will be relocated to the New Administrative Capital, marking the completion of the transfer of the country’s governance from its previous headquarters.
The inauguration ceremony will also mark the official opening of the first phase of the New Administrative Capital, gaining significant attention as it will be broadcast internationally. According to the Egyptian Constitution, the President is required to take the constitutional oath before assuming his duties.
The constitutional oath must be taken before the House of Representatives, and in circumstances where the House is unavailable, the President may take the oath before the Supreme Constitutional Court. Ehab al-Tamawy, the Deputy Chairman of the Legislative Committee of the House of Representatives, clarified that President Sisi will take the constitutional oath before the House members, with the presence of various guests and public figures, preceding a national address by the President.
The significance of the inauguration ceremony in the New Administrative Capital cannot be understated, as it symbolizes a new chapter in Egypt’s governance. The event will not only mark the beginning of President Sisi’s new term but also showcase the progress and development of the new capital.
The transfer of the presidential headquarters to the New Administrative Capital highlights the commitment of the government to modernize and enhance governmental facilities. The ceremony will be a momentous occasion celebrated both locally and internationally, highlighting Egypt’s stability and progress under President Sisi’s leadership.
As preparations continue for the inauguration ceremony, the New Administrative Capital is poised to become a symbol of Egypt’s vision for the future, representing a modern and efficient hub for governance. The event will not only be a moment of celebration but also a testament to Egypt’s dedication to progress and development.
