The Egyptian Wafd Alliance, initially called the National Front Coalition, was an alliance of political parties that would have run in the 2015 Egyptian parliamentary election.[1]
History
The alliance was initially founded as the National Front Coalition in December 2013.[2] The alliance was formally launched the following August as the Egyptian Wafd Alliance, after Amr Moussa was unsuccessful in launching a new alliance.[1]
The Egyptian Social Democratic Party left the alliance and will run independently.[3] The Tagammu Party left the Wafd Alliance[4] and will run for individual seats.[5] The Justice Party announced on 15 February 2015 that it will not participate in the election.[6] The New Wafd Party, Conservative Party and Reform and Development Party joined the For the Love of Egypt alliance.[7]
