The Al-Watan Party (Arabic: حزب الوطن Homeland Party) is an Islamist political party in Egypt founded in January 2013 following a split within the Al Nour Party. It was formed when Emad Abdel Ghaffour the then leader of Al Nour and 150 other party members quit in protest at the part of a dispute between Ghaffour and followers of Yasser Al Borhamy. The party has stated that Copts will be allowed to join the party and women will be allowed on electoral lists.
