The Reform and Development Misruna Party (Arabic: حزب الأصلاح و التنمية Hizb Al-Islah wa Al-Tanmiyah) is a liberal political party in Egypt.
History and profile
Reform and Development Misruna Party was founded in 2009.[2] The founders of the party are Anwar Essmat Sadat, the ex-president Anwar Sadat's nephew and the Egyptian billionaire Raymond Lakah.[3] The initial license application of the party was rejected in July 2010.[2] It was legalized in May 2011 in just before the Egypt’s 25 January Revolution in 2012.[2]
The party participated in the Egyptian parliamentary election, 2011–2012 and won 9 seats in the lower house.[4] The party merged with the Misruna party (Our Egypt party) in June 2011; the party name changed slightly.[3]
Although the Reform and Development Misruna Party will participate in the upcoming 2015 parliamentary elections, Sadat has criticized the election process, which has been delayed for 7 months, as well as the Supreme Constitutional Court being allowed to rule on complaints against election laws.[5]
