A relative political nobody, Mansour is a career bureaucrat. Born December 23, 1945, he has three children (link in Arabic): Ahmed, Jasmin, and Basant. He’s a lawyer by trade, graduating from the University of Cairo in 1970 (Arabic). Mansour then joined the government as an assistant delegate in the State Council, part of Egypt’s judiciary, where he would spend much of his career.
