Justice Website Biography
The Freedom and Justice Party (FJP) (Arabic: ÍÒÈ ÇáÍÑíÉ æÇáÚÏÇáÉý, H.izb Al-H.urriya Wal-’Adala) is an Islamist[4][5] political party in Egypt. The party is nominally independent, but has strong links to the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt, the largest and best-organized political group in Egypt.[7]
The 2011–2012 Egyptian Parliamentary election resulted in the FJP winning 47.2 per cent of all seats in the country's lower house of parliament, with fellow Islamist parties al Nour and al Wasat winning 24.7 and 2 per cent, respectively.[8][9][10] Both the FJP and the Salafist Al Nour Party have since denied alleged intentions of political unification.[11][12] The FJP furthermore consistently stated that it would not field a candidate for the 2012 Egyptian presidential election.[13][14]
The FJP ran Mohamed Morsi as a presidential candidate after the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate Khairat al-Shater was disqualified.[15]
The Muslim Brotherhood announced on 21 February 2011, in the aftermath of the 2011 Egyptian revolution, that it intended to found the Freedom and Justice Party, to be led by Saad El-Katatny.[16][17][18]
The party was officially founded on 30 April 2011, and it was announced that it would contest up to half the seats in the upcoming parliamentary election. The Muslim Brotherhood’s legislative body appointed Mohamed Morsy as president of the Freedom and Justice Party, Essam el-Erian as vice president, and Saad El-Katatny as secretary general.[19][20] The three are former members of the Muslim Brotherhood "Guidance Office", or Maktab al-Irshad, the highest-level body of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood.[7]
The party was expected to win "the vast majority" of the seats that it contested in the 2011 parliamentary election – i.e., just under half of the seats in parliament – as "no other party" had "anything close to the network of committed supporters" that it had. In addition, the MB worked with independent candidates promising them support.[7]
The Freedom and Justice Party is no longer part of the Democratic Alliance coalition.[21]
