The National Progressive Unionist Rally Party (Arabic: حزب التجمع الوطني التقدمي الوحدوي|Ḥizb al-Tagammu' al-Watani al-Taqadomi al-Wahdawi, commonly referred to as Tagammu, meaning "Rally" in English) is a socialist political party in Egypt. Originally known as the National Progressive Unionist Rally Organization, it was established as the left-wing faction of the governing Arab Socialist Union (ASU) and became an independent party after ASU's dissolution.
The party considers itself a defender of the principles of the Egyptian Revolution of 1952. It calls for standing against attempts to reverse the revolution's social gains for labourers, the poor, and other low-income groups.
The party was established in 1977.[2] The founders were two former Free Officers members, Khaled Mohieddin and Kamal Rifaat.[3] [4] Its membership consisted of mainly of Marxists and Nasserists.[5] [6]
Since 1978 the party has published a newspaper, Al Ahali.[7]
The party boycotted the first presidential elections in 2005. It won 5 out of 518 seats during the 2010 legislative elections.
In the 2011–12 Egyptian parliamentary election, the party ran in the Egyptian Bloc electoral alliance. However, in late 2014 it withdrew from the Egyptian Front.[8]
