The military, in charge since leader Hosni Mubarak was overthrown in February in a popular uprising, has been under pressure to speed a promised transition to civilian rule.
It appointed Ganzouri after the former cabinet resigned last month during clashes between police and protesters demanding that the army step aside. Ganzouri said on Tuesday he expected to be granted broader powers than his predecessor.
