The Egyptian Revolution Party is a new political party comprised of members of Egypt's various coalitions and revolutionary movements. Tarek Zidan, founder of the Free Egypt Revolution Coalition and a member of revolution's Coordinating Committee, announced the party's foundation as the first political party that includes representatives of Egypt's coalitions and revolutionary movements in its higher board. “These movements emerged from Egypt's January 25 Revolution before the step down to the Friday of Victory under the name ‘The Egyptian Revolution Party,'” said Zidan. He added this is the only party that has emerged from political movements and real revolutionary coalitions. Zidan said the current political atmosphere will require Egypt's revolutionary youth to work under the auspices of a legal party, through which they can communicate with the government. He said the Egyptian Revolution Party is the first party to work to unify protestors. “The program is based on Islamic principles, taking into consideration the roles of Coptic Christians and women, especially since Islam was the first to call for respect of other religions and to give the women their rights,” said Zidan. “Once the proxies are submitted to the Parties Affairs Committee after Eid el-Fitr (the feast which follows the Islamic holy month of Ramadan), there will be a unified list of representatives of the coalitions and revolutionary movements nationwide for the next parliamentary elections. It will be a strong list and will include all the revolutionary youth, who will join to create a strong party and follow the principles of Islamic law,” said a member of the executive office of the revolution's general union and coordinator of the region's Youth Union, Mostafa Yunis. Zidan said the party's higher council includes: Ahmed El-Sokary, secretary of Egyptian Awareness Coalition; the coordinator of al-Saeed Coalition, Diaa Abdel Aziz; members of the revolution's general union, Amr Ahmed and Mostafa Yunis; the coordinator of Egypt's protestors coalition, Mohamed Abdel Gaber; founder of the Egyptian Revolution's Movement, Tarek Abdel Mohsen; member of the region's youth union, Hossam Ismail; the coalition of Free Egyptian's Revolution; members of the Revolution Party, Mohamed Eid and Mohamed el-Nabawy; the representative of the coalition of coordinating committee and the secretariat of the official channel of the Coalition, Mohamed Gamal.
