Cairo, July 24 (Xinhua-ANI): Egypt's President Mohamed Morsi appointed Irrigation Minister Hesham Qandil as the new prime minister on Tuesday, state media reported.
Morsi assigned Qandil to form a new cabinet as soon as possible, official MENA news agency quoted acting spokesman of the presidency Yasser Ali as saying.
Morsi will hold a meeting with Qandil later on Tuesday, said Ali.
Qandil was named as irrigation and water resources minister last July in a cabinet reshuffle by then-Prime Minister Essam Sharaf, who resigned in late November 2011.
The appointment came just one month after Mosi was declared winner of the presidency. (ANI)
