Sedky was appointed as a technical adviser to the Egyptian prime minister's office in 1955, a few years after the Egyptian Revolution of 1952.[1] He next served as a full-time member of the services board until 1956.[1]
In 1956, Sedky was appointed as minister of industry by the PresidentGamal Abdel Nasser.[1] Among Sedky's tasks as minister was the supervision of an industrialization program, which was financed by the Soviet Union.[1] The Soviets were, at the time, an important ally of the Egpytian government. Sedky launched a five-year industrialization plan in 1957.[1] This initiative was later merged into a "general five-year development plan", which lasted from 1961 until 1965.[1] He was a member of the Arab Socialist Union from 1962 and became part of its secret unit, the Socialist Vanguard (Arabic: al-Tanzim al-Tali‘i), which was also called the Vanguard Organization, in 1963 when the unit was established.[2]
Sedky was promoted as deputy prime minister responsible for industry and mineral resources in 1964.[1] Simultaneously, he also became the minister of petroleum and mineral resources in 1964 as well.[1] In November 1970, Sedky was also named as the deputy prime minister for production and trade.[1]
Sedky was appointed prime minister on 16 January 1972, following the resignation of Mahmoud Fawzi.[1] He remained in office until 26 March 1973 when he was replaced by Anwar Sadat in the post.[1]
