Dignity Party (Egypt)

The Dignity Party () is an Egyptian left-wing Nasserist political party founded in 1996 by Amin Iskander and Hamdeen Sabahi.

History

The party first gained parliamentary seats in the 2005 Egyptian parliamentary election; in 2011, the party joined the Democratic Alliance for Egypt, which won a majority of seats in that election. The party's leader and presidential candidate, Hamdeen Sabahi, came in third in the 2012 election and did not advance to the June runoff.

In late 2012, Sabahi left the party to form the Egyptian Popular Current. Many Dignity party members left to join Sabahi's new party.

The party joined the National Front Alliance ahead of the 2015 Egyptian parliamentary election.

In March 2016, the Popular Current Party merged into the Dignity Party.

Ahmed Tantawi was elected chairman of the party on 25 December 2020, replacing Mohamed Samy. Tantawi left the position in July 2022. The leader of the party as of May 2025 is Sayed El-Toukhy.
