The Egypt Civilization Party, or El-Hadara, is a secular, liberal political party established in Egypt in 2011. It describes itself as “in the center: in the right-wing economically, and left-wing socially.”[1]
History
The party was founded by Mohamed al-Sawy, one of the two Al-Hadara members to be elected to the People’s Assembly in the 2011-2012 parliamentary elections.[1] Another prominent party member is Hatem Khater, head of the Egyptian Food Bank.
The party was formerly part of the Moderate Current Coalition[2] and the Centrist Coalition.[3]
