The Egyptian Renaissance Party (Arabic: حزب النهضة, romanized: Hezb Al-Nahda),[1] also known as the Revival Party,[4] is a Salafist political party.[5] However, it has also been reported to be in favor of a civil state.[4] The leader of the party, Ibrahim Al-Zafaraany, stated that the party would focus on education and "scientific research"[2] as well as the economy.[6] Al-Zafaraany is a former member of al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya.[7]
The party was founded by former members of the Muslim Brotherhood.[8] The founder of the party is Mohammed Habib.[9]
In the Qandil Cabinet, one minister was a member of the Renaissance Party.[10] The party has stated in September 2012 that it and the Virtue Party would merge.[11]
