Information About

Revolutionary Command Council





INITIAL MEMBERSHIP


From the beginning, Nasser was the true power in the Revolutionary Command Council. However, Muhammad Neguib enjoyed greater popular support than Nasser, so the Council first made him President and Prime Minister. When Neguib and Nasser came into conflict, the Council sided with Nasser and removed Neguib from power.

END OF COUNCIL

When Nasser seized power in Egypt, he decided to abolish the Council. Thus, on July 24, 1954, the Council dissolved itself and announced the end of the Egyptian revolution.
