The Revolution Continues Alliance (Arabic: تحالف الثورة مستمرة , Taḥallūf al-ṯẖawra mustamarra, sometimes referred to as Istikmāl al-ṯẖawra or Completing the Revolution[3][4]), abbreviated to RCA, is a left-leaning, mostly secular electoral alliance in Egypt. It has been formed by two socialist, two liberal, and an Islamic party. The alliance has announced its electoral platform on 23 October 2011, one day before the deadline for the parliamentary election starting on 24 November.[5]
The formation followed a conflict inside the broad left-leaning secular and liberal Egyptian Bloc over the participation of exponents of the old regime and the dominance of a few parties within the bloc. When they could not enforce their demands, the Socialist Popular Alliance Party and the Egyptian Socialist Party left the Bloc.[5] The alliance's electoral campaign was launched on 2 November.[1]
The aim of this alliance is to keep the revolutionary spirit in the parliament and to achieve all the demands of the 2011 Egyptian revolution.[1]
