The cabinet of Egyptian Prime Minister Hesham Qandil was sworn in on 2 August 2012.[1] Qandil was appointed by President Mohamed Morsi, following the resignation of military-named premier Kamal Ganzouri. The cabinet consists of 36 ministers.[2] The composition of the government is mostly formed by technocrats, with five Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) members and one member each from the Al-Wasat and Renaissance parties.[3][2]

On 5 January 2013, a cabinet reshuffle took place replacing ten ministers.[7] The number of FJP members in the cabinet increased from five to eight after the reshuffle.[8]

On 7 May 2013, another reshuffle took place replacing nine ministers, increasing the number of FJP members to 10 out of a total of 36.[9][10][11][12]
