According to a presidential decree issued on Tuesday, Nour El-Fath’s powers will include evaluating ministers and intervening in all stages of implementing government decisions.
Nour El Fath, 40, had served as a senior economic adviser to Othmani since 2019 before taking over as government secretary-general on July 1.

“There is no doubt that Colonel Ghazali Osman is preparing his son to succeed him by giving him presidential and constitutional powers,” said Said Larivo, a lawyer and political commentator who holds dual French and Comorian citizenship.

Following the presidential elections held last January, clashes erupted between police and demonstrators the day after Othmani was declared the winner in the first round, which the opposition considered fraudulent and demanded the cancellation of the results.
