The Egyptian Nation Alliance[2] (Arabic: تحالف الأمة المصرية; Tahalof El-Umma El-Masriya; also translated as Egyptian National Alliance, Egyptian Patriotism Alliance, Alliance for the Egyptian Nation, Coalition of the Egyptian Nation, or Egyptian National Coalition) was a coalition of 12 parties.[3] [4]

Known members of the coalition included the Ghad El-Thawra Party, the Democratic Front Party, the New Wafd Party, and 9 other parties.[3] Purported members included the Conference Party, the Egyptian Popular Current, the Socialist Popular Alliance Party, the Egyptian Social Democratic Party,[4] the Revolutionary Democratic Coalition and the Free Egyptians Party.[5]

However, it is not entirely clear which parties joined the coalition. An article in Al Akhbar states that some parties that are mentioned as members have not yet made a final decision on whether to join the coalition.
