The Building and Development Party ( Arabic حزب البناء والتنمية, DMG Ḥizb al-Bināʾ wa-t-Tanmiya ) is an Islamist party in Egypt . It was founded by the Gamaa Islamija ( "Islamic Association" ), widely regarded as a terrorist organization, and is regarded as the political wing of the movement.
The Reconstruction and Development Party was founded on June 20, 2011, after the upheavals of 2011 , and officially recognized by the Supreme Administrative Court on October 10, 2011. It ran in the 2011/2012 parliamentary elections in Egypt as part of the Alliance for Egypt (known as the "Islamist Bloc"), which is led by the Salafist Party of Light . It received 13 parliamentary seats and became the sixth strongest force in the People's Assembly .
According to its political manifesto, the Building and Development Party will only stand for representative democracy if its institutions are governed by Sharia principles , while rejecting the traditional form of theocracy as in Iran . The party also supports a free market economy and questions the role of the public sector .
The party is headed by Nasr Abdel Salam . Abbud al-Zumar , who was involved in the murder of the Egyptian President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Anwar as-Sadat and was therefore imprisoned for almost 20 years, is also in the ranks of the Development and Development Party.
Member Adel al-Chajat was appointed governor of Luxor governorate in 2013 .
