The Islamic Alliance (Arabic: التحالف الإسلامي, romanized: ِِِAl Tahaluf al-islāmī) Commonly known as just Al-Tahaluf (The Alliance), was an Electoral and Parliamentary bloc in the People's Assembly of Egypt (Now called the House of Representatives). It was created in 1987 as an Alliance of Islamist parties and political factions in the Egyptian parliament. It ran in the 1987 parliamentary election and gained 60 seats, becoming the largest Opposition bloc in the Egyptian parliament. The Alliance was dissolved by the time of the 1990 parliamentary election due to disagreements on whether to participate or boycott the elections.[1]
