Egyptian Front


The Egyptian Front is an alliance of political parties contesting the 2015 Egyptian parliamentary election in a joint list with the Independent Current Coalition, called Egypt.

History

The alliance was established on 17 August 2014 by the following parties: Congress Party, El-Ghad Party, Tagammu Party, Modern Egypt Party, My Homeland Egypt Party, Democratic Generation Party, Republican People’s Party, and the Egyptian National Movement. Former presidential candidate Hamdeen Sabahi criticized the alliance by stating that it represents "Mubarak-era politics".
The Egyptian Front planned to coordinate with the National Alliance list that was led by Kamal Ganzouri, though the National Alliance withdrew from the race in February 2015.
The Tagammu Party, Congress Party and El-Ghad Party all withdrew from the alliance in December 2014.
A rival list, For the Love of Egypt, was established in February 2015, while the Modern Egypt Party withdrew from the coalition in May 2015.
The Egyptian Patriotic Movement and the My Homeland Egypt Party left the alliance and joined the For the Love of Egypt coalition following a failed attempt to merge the For the Love of Egypt coalition and the Egyptian Front. Both of the parties are no longer part of that alliance and instead joined the Egypt alliance.
