Democratic Alliance for Egypt, or Democratic Alliance[1] is a coalition of political parties in Egypt formed in the wake of the 2011 Revolution. The largest party in the group is the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party
The Alliance was originally made of fifteen parties, including Freedom Egypt Party, the leftist National Progressive Unionist Party (Tagammu), the Salafi-affiliated Al Nour Party, and the centrist Justice Party (Egypt).[2][3] Later the Democratic Front Party and Tagammu parties split off to join the left-leaning Egyptian Bloc.[4]
By the start of the elections on 28 November 2011, only 11 parties remained in the alliance, including the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party, the Nasserist Karama Party (Dignity), the Ghad El-Thawra Party, the Labor Party, the Ahrar Party and several smaller parties.[1] The parties differ on domestic policies but are united in supporting a more nationalistic, less Israel-friendly foreign policy.[2]
