With this approval, the NFP gains legal status and the right to engage in political activities from the day after the decision’s issuance.

The NFP was launched  on 30 December last year in the New Administrative Capital (NAC) under the slogan “Egypt for All.”

In January, the NFP began collecting signatures to secure its official licensing, as Egypt’s 2011 political parties law required.

Former Housing Minister El-Gazzar stated that the party does not seek a parliamentary majority but aims to build a “new republic” based on social justice, political reform, and human rights.

The party’s manifesto emphasizes national unity, stability, and an inclusive political future.

The NFP has already made its presence felt through large-scale street campaigns and frequent public statements. It is set to challenge Mostakbal Watan, which currently holds the parliamentary majority.

Among the prominent founding members are Head of the State Information Service Diaa Rashwan, former Minister of Investment Sahar Nasr, former Speaker of the House of Representatives Ali Abdel-Aal, former Minister of Agriculture Al-Sayed Al-Quseir, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives and businessman Mohamed Abou El-Enein, former Minister of Youth Taher Abou Zeid, and former Minister of Local Development Mahmoud Shaarawy.

According to Egypt’s State Information Service (SIS), there are 87 licensed political parties. Fourteen of them hold seats in the current parliament: Mostakbal Watan with 315 seats, the People’s Republican Party with 50 seats, Al-Wafd with 26 seats, Homat Watan with 23 seats, and the Islamist Nour Party with seven seats.
