After swearing the oath of office to become Egypt’s interim president, Adly Mansour has been thrust into the public spotlight. Here’s a look at some facts you may not know about the man who’s replaced the ousted Mohammed Morsi.

In his remarks Thursday, Mansour hailed the countywide protests that led to Morsi’s ouster, saying during his acceptance speech the revolution must continue so “we stop producing tyrants.”

While former president Morsi remains under house arrest, Mansour has promised free and open elections, but has yet to set a date.
