  Ottoman Egypt
Egypt was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in 1517.
The Mameluke emirs were to be retained in office as heads of twelve sanjaks into, which Egypt was divided; and under the next sultan, Suleiman I, two chambers were created, called the Greater Divan and Lesser Divan, in which both the army and the ecclesiastical authorities were represented, to aid the pasha by their deliberations.
Not only was the governor unsupported by the sultan against the troops, but each new governor regularly inflicted a fine upon his outgoing predecessor, under the name of money due to the treasury; and the outgoing governor would not be allowed to leave Egypt till he had paid it.

 Egypt - Egypt And The Porte
Although the settlement of 1840-1 had made Egypt virtually independent, the official relation of its ruler to the Porte was still nominally that of a provincial vali, or governor-general, whose powers were indeed larger, but his grade little if at all higher, than that of the governor of Baghdad.
to 675,000 he received the title and rank of Khédivel-Misr (King of Egypt) commonly called Khedive--and the succession to the throne was made direct from father to son, instead of descending to the eldest agnate of the family of Mehemet Ali, as had been fixed by the treaty of 1840.
With few (and certainly unconfessed) exceptions, "Egypt for the Egyptians " is now unmistakably the national aspiration, and no one who knows the country can doubt that, if the Khedive were to proclaim his independence to-morrow, he would be supported by every class of the population.

 History of Ottoman Egypt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 1743 Othman Bey was forced to fly from Egypt by the intrigues of two adventurers, Ibrahim and Ridwan Bey, who, when their scheme had succeeded, began a massacre of beys and others thought to be opposed to them; they then proceeded to govern Egypt jointly, holding the two offices mentioned above in alternate years.
In future all posts in Egypt were to be open to all classes of the inhabitants; the conduct of affairs was to be committed to the men of talent, virtue, and learning; and in proof of the statement that the French were sincere Moslems the overthrow of the papal authority in Rome was alleged.
This was the termination of the French occupation of Egypt, of which the chief permanent monument was the Description de l'Egypte, compiled by the French savants who accompanied the expedition.

Egypt was an Augustan province so the governors were appointed directly by the Emperor rather than by the traditional Senatorial lottery.
