It is the extension of one of the oldest and historically most active political parties in Egypt, Wafd Party, which was dismantled after the 1952 Revolution. The New Wafd was established in 1978,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Egypt State Information Service )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Al-Wafd (Delegation Party) – Egypt's Transition )〕 but banned only months later. It was revived after President Anwar Sadats' assassination in 1981.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Articles about Wafd )〕 In Egypt's legislative and presidential elections in November and December 2005, the party won 6 out of 454 seats in the People's Assembly,〔(Egypt Update – European Forum )〕 and its presidential candidate Numan Gumaa received 2.9 per cent of the total votes cast for president. Pharmaceuticals tycoon El-Sayyid el-Badawi is the current party chairman after winning Al-Wafd's internal election on 28 May 2010 against Mahmoud Abaza, who was the party chairman after succeeding Numan Gumaa in 2006. Following the 2011 Revolution the party joined the National Democratic Alliance for Egypt electoral bloc, which is dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood's Freedom and Justice Party. As the date neared for fielding candidate lists, Wafd left the alliance and competed in the elections independently.〔(memri.org )〕 In the subsequent parliamentary elections, the Party came third with 9.2% of the vote, and was the most successful non-Islamist party. Wafd Party is now headquartered in Dokki, Giza Province in Egypt. ==Ideology and goals== The New Wafd has tried to place itself at the ideological center between the main historic traditions in Egypt of Arab socialism and private capitalism. It has been critical of the government's encouragement of foreign private investment, advocating a more balanced approach to the relationship between private and public sectors.〔()〕 The party presses for introducing political, economic, and social reforms, promoting democracy, ensuring basic freedoms and human rights, and maintaining national unity. The party also calls for abolishing the emergency law, solving the unemployment and housing problems, upgrading the health services and developing the education system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「New Wafd Party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
