Mohamed Badei, supreme guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, has announced the decision of the group's guidance office to form a political party under the name of “Freedom and Justice”. An application to legally register the party will be made in the coming days.

Badei confirmed that this step is in line with the policy and inclinations of the brotherhood.

Competent institutions within the group have been asked to prepare the final version of the party's program, laying out its regulations and policies.

In addition, he pointed out that the party’s membership will be open to all Egyptians who accept the terms of its program.
