Dignity Party (Egypt)
political party in Egypt
The Dignity Party (Arabic: حزب الكرامة, romanized: Ḥizb al-Karāma) 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.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Dignity Party (Egypt)” as political party in Egypt. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as political party in Egypt. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1664267. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1996, 2005, 2011 and 2012.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
