Capital District Council

The Capital District Council (Arabic: مجلس منطقة العاصمة majlis minṭaqat al-ʿāṣimah) is the devolved local authority in charge of the Gamal Abdel Nasser Capital District, the capital city and federal district of the Arab Union commonly known as Nasser City. It consists of 18 elected members (councillors), each representing one of the districts of Nasser City, and is responsible for developing and formalising policy, passing bylaws and local ordinances, and preparing the city budget. The 18-member council elects from amongst itself a chairperson, who in turn appoints the chair of the Capital District Executive, the top administrative body responsible for supervising municipal directorates and other local services.
