The Freedom and Justice Party (FJP; Arabic: حزب الحرية والعدالة, romanized: Ḥizb al-Ḥurriyyah wa-l-ʿAdālah) is an Egyptian Islamist political party.[6] The ex-president of the party, Mohamed Morsi, won the 2012 presidential election,[9] and in the 2011 parliamentary election it won more seats than any other party. It is nominally independent, but has strong links to the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt, the largest political group in Egypt.[10] The party was banned and dissolved in 2014; however, it continues to function underground.[4]
The 2011–12 Egyptian parliamentary election resulted in the FJP winning 47.2 percent of all seats in the country's lower house of parliament, with fellow Islamist parties al Nour and al Wasat winning 24.7 and 2 percent, respectively.[11][12] Both the FJP and the Salafist Al Nour Party have since denied alleged intentions of political unification.[13][14]
The FJP originally stated that it would not field a candidate for the 2012 Egyptian presidential election,[15][16] but in fact did so, first running Muslim Brotherhood leader Khairat al-Shater, and then after he was disqualified running Morsi.[17] The Muslim Brotherhood has been declared a terrorist group by the interim government, leaving the status of the FJP unclear.[18] On 15 April 2014, the Alexandria Court for Urgent Matters banned current and former members of the Muslim Brotherhood from running in the parliamentary elections.[19] On 9 August 2014, the Supreme Administrative Court ordered the dissolution of the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party and the liquidation of its assets.[20]
