The My Homeland Egypt Party is an Egyptian political party composed of "diehards" from the Hosni Mubarak-era National Democratic Party. [1]

Overview

The party, an independent popular movement, was formed in December 2013. [4] Although Murad Muwafi was considered for the presidency of the party, [5] Ahmed Gamal El Din was ultimately selected. [1] The organization behind the party, called the Misr Baladi Front, supported Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in the 2014 presidential race. [6] Mostafa Bakry, a party member, stated in July 2014 that the organization was preparing its lists for the 2015 Egyptian parliamentary election. [7]

The party was one of the founding members of the Egyptian Front, which was launched in August 2014. [8]
