The Al-Ansar Party is a Salafist political party in Egypt.[3] It is one of three parties that are part of Hazem Salah Abu Ismail's network of political parties; the other two parties are the Egyptian Nation Party and the Flag Party.[1] The party would have been part of a coalition including the People Party, the Building and Development Party and the Virtue Party;[4] however Hazem Salah Abu Ismail formed a coalition called the Nation Alliance without the Al Ansar Party.[5]
