The Arab Democratic Nasserist Party (Arabic: الحزب العربى الديمقراطى الناصرى) is a political party in Egypt. The party presses for achieving comprehensive development, establishing a strong national economy, sticking to the gains of the 1952 July Revolution and protecting human rights.
At the 2000 parliamentary elections, the party had 3 out of 454 seats. However, at the last legislative elections, November and December 2005, the party failed to win any seat.

[edit] History

Sadats economic liberalizations, as well as his foreign policy moves, alienated many ideological Nasserists in the late 1970s and early 1980s. One illegal group, the Thawrat Misri, or Egyptian Revolution was formed in 1980. After it was broken up by the government, several of Nassers relatives were shown to be involved.

Ideological Nasserist gravitated to either the socialist Labor Party or NPUF through out the rest of the decade. They were finally allowed to have an open legal party, the Arab Democratic Nasserist Party, led by Diya al-din Dawud, in 1992.
