BRITAIN – The Muslim Brotherhood paid one of its most senior leaders, Mohiuddin Al-Zait, to temporarily succeed Ibrahim Mounir, the group’s acting leader (85 years old), after his death, a spokesman stated on Friday evening.
“The institutions of the group have been held since Mounir’s passing, and it was decided to keep Muhyiddin Al-Zait, his deputy for the commission’s business, in charge of the group’s operations until the late one made his decision.
And the neighbourhood of al-Din al-Zayt, 70, is one of the most prominent leaders of the group. He advanced from being a group member to a member of the Shura General (the highest supervisory authority), then was in charge of one of the group’s offices in Greater Cairo.

Abdel -Maqsoud stressed that “there are administrative steps that have already taken place in Mounir’s life in order to arrange those who succeed him if he died, and according to the group’s regulations and its systems, there are measures that must be taken before announcing the new businessmen. ”
“These measures are being developed to assign the duty to individuals who will receive it in the next days,” he stated.
As the group observes a state of internal division between the London group and the Istanbul group, observers believe that the group’s haste to name a temporary successor to Ibrahim Mounir is intended to show it as unified and capable of making a shift away from the differences, which contradicts the reality.
In a related development, the Brotherhood declared in a statement on Friday that Munir’s funeral prayer will be held at the East London Mosque on Saturday afternoon, according to local time in the British capital, and that he would afterwards be laid to rest in the cemeteries of Riyadh Al Salam.
Mounir Masri lives outside of his country, particularly in London, following restrictions placed on the group by the regime starting in the 1960s. He assumed control of the group’s international organisation in 2020. He was born in the northern city of Mansoura, and the group’s biggest conflicts with the Egyptian government were still ongoing when he assumed the position of Chargé d’Affaires.
The group has been banned by the Egyptian government since the middle of 2013 due to a number of allegations that it denies, and thousands of its cadres, including the General Leader Mohamed Badi, are currently incarcerated.
The gang that was accused of terrorist activity participated in the National Dialogue of Tahda, which was organised by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi.
The Brotherhood names a temporary replacement to act as the guide.
