history
At the first party conference in October 2004, Aiman Nur , a member of parliament and a practicing lawyer, was elected party chairman. The party was founded by former members of the New Wafd Party . Aiman Nur used the party as a platform to call for constitutional reforms that limit the powers of the president and for open presidential elections that allow multiple candidates to participate.
The official al-Ghad party, led by Moussa Moustafa Moussa , is running as an independent list in the parliamentary elections in Egypt 2011/2012 . A split off faction, the morning party of the revolution , is now led by Aiman Nur and forms a democratic alliance with the Islamist Freedom and Justice Party of the Muslim Brotherhood until it merged into the conference party of Amr Mussa .
