Political historyedit
During Youssef Wahba’s first term as prime minister, Ibrahim was appointed minister of education and served from November 20, 1919, to May 21, 1920. He held the post of minister of education again during Tawfik Nasseem’s second term from November 30, 1922, to February 9, 1923. As minister, he focused on eradicating the illiteracy of workers in several districts throughout the country.
He was appointed prime minister on March 15, 1923, and served until January 27, 1924, where he continued to work as the minister of education. In addition to this, he became the minister of justice on November 18th, 1923. During his tenure as prime minister, he was known for his judiciousness and was given the nickname Sheikh Al Qadaa, or Chief of Judges. His time as prime minister was known as the “Ministry of Law” because of his "simple and straight forward programme of putting the Constitution in force" says Sir William Hayter in his book Recent Constitutional Developments In Egypt.
The most important accomplishments of his reign include: the issuance of Egypt’s first constitution [1] on April 19, 1923; the release of Saad Zaghlol from his exile in Gibraltar after only serving as prime minister for two weeks, along with the release of Egyptian detainees and members of the Wafd Party; and the cancellation of several peripheral laws. Another important accomplishment was passing Egypt’s first elections law and the introduction of transparency within the elections process. His cabinet also managed to restore stability in the country after facing several upheavals following the 1919 revolution. During his tenure as prime minister, and with the return of Saad Zaghloul Pasha from exile, the Zagloulists won elections against Ibrahim, obtaining almost all seats of the parliament. On January 17, 1924, Ibrahim submitted his resignation from his post as prime minister, stating that he would have liked to stay long enough to also supervise the Senate election, but the people of Egypt have spoken and their will should be respected. This loss reinforced the idea that the elections under his reign were fair and free. After ten days of hesitation, King Fouad accepted the Cabinet resignation, Egypt Chronicles.com. In 1925 Yahia Pacha established the Hizb Al Etihad or the “Union Party” and became its first president, which was established to support the palace. He was also appointed as the head of the Senate of Egypt in 1925 and minister of finance 1925-1926.[1] Despite his allegiance to the palace, he played an integral role in the opposition that was formed to denounce King Fouad’s annulment of the constitution 23 until it was reinstated in 1935.
