Mostafa Fahmy Pasha (1840–13 September 1914) was an Egyptian politician who served in several different cabinet positions and as prime minister for two times.
Early life and education
Born in Crete, Algeria, in 1840, Fahmy was of Turkish origin and his father was a colonel.[1] Fahmy graduated from military academy.[1]
Career
After graduation, Fahmy joined the Egyptian army and later, he became a Lieutenant general. He retired from the army and began to serve as a governor in different provinces, including Minuffiyya, Cairo and lastly, Port Said.[1] After serving in other low-profile public positions, he was appointed minister of public works in 1879. Then Fahmy served at different cabinet positions: minister of foreign affairs, minister of justice, minister of finance, minister of interior (three times) and minister of war and marine (two times).[1]
Fahmy was appointed prime minister on 12 May 1891, replacing Riaz Pasha.[2][3] Fahmy remained in office for nearly two years and was sacked by Abbas II on 15 January 1893.[4] The King dismissed him due to his over reliance on the British agency.[4] Hussein Fahri Pasha replaced Fahmy Pasha as prime minister.[4] Fahmy's second appointment as prime minister was on 12 November 1895, replacing Nubar Pasha. Fahmy Pasha's second term lasted until 12 November 1908, and Boutros Ghali replaced him as prime minister.[3]
Personal life and death
Fahmy's daughter, Safiya, was a political activist and a significant figure in the Egyptian society.[5] She married Saad Zaghlul in 1896.[6][7]
Fahmy died in Cairo on 13 September 1914.[1]
