Born and brought up in Egypt, he obtained his doctoral degree from United States and also worked there at the beginning of his career. Later, he returned to Egypt and became actively involved in politics as a member of the political party, Muslim Brotherhood. During this time, he pushed the government to enact political reforms, calling for the lifting of repressive measures, and also established himself as a social conservative. After Hosni Mubarak’s dictatorship was brought to an end by the revolutionary protests in Egypt, the country’s first democratic elections were held and the party selected him to be its candidate. He won the democratic elections and took office during a period of political uncertainty. After coming to power, he did receive some appreciation for his initial efforts towards creating a better economy, but his actions also indicated a hidden lust for power. He took some steps towards seizing the control of the country and although he defended the edict as a necessary measure to protect Egypt’s transition to democracy, mass demonstrations were held against his rule. This worsened the law and order situation and also strengthened opposition to his rule. As a result, the armed forces intervened in the matter and ousted him from presidency, eventually placing him under house arrest.
