The Party of the Nation's Future ( Egyptian Arabic حزب مستقبل وطن Hizb Mustaqbal Watan ) is a militarist and populist party in Egypt founded in the wake of the state crisis in 2014 . It is regarded as a party of the Sisi regime and has become the largest party in Egypt through convertions from other parties.
Many party members were members of the National Democratic Party of former President Hosni Mubarak . In the 2018 presidential elections, the Future Party supported incumbent Abdel Fattah el-Sisi , who had come to power in 2013 . In the same year, a party merger with Sisi's presidential campaign team was also decided. In October 2018, the party was to be renamed the Future Party of Egypt . In the course of this, politicians from Egypt's oldest party, the Wafd Party , as well as Egypt’s largest party to date, the Free Egyptians Party , converted to the nation’s future party . The latter was voted the strongest party in the 2015 parliamentary elections , ahead of the Future Party. All three parties were part of the Sisi party alliance “For love for Egypt”.
The Future Party of the Nation supports the armed forces of Egypt , which have exercised great power in Egypt since the 1952 military coup under Gamal Abdel Nasser . She is against the stationing of troops in Syria . In economic terms, the Future Party advocates the liberalization of the Egyptian pound .
