The group denied media reports that Badie, who is standing trial on multiple violence charges, had been replaced.

"Mohammad Badie is still the Muslim Brotherhood General Guide," the movement said in a statement.

"All these reports are bare of truth," the Brotherhood said.

Badie and other MB leaders are facing charges in Egypt's courts since the ouster of former President Mohammad Mursi in June 30, 2013.
