Anwar Esmat
El-Sadat founders' representative of the Reform
and Development Party and Ramy Lakkah founders' representative
of Masrena Party (under formation) have both announced
in a meeting hosting a number of the founders from both
parties, that the two parties have been finally merged
so that the members from both parties will be now working
under one unified umbrella called "Reform & Development
- Masrena Party”. This step is considered to be
the first official merger in Egypt so far, after widespread
alliances between parties and political movements which
insist on maintaining independence of parties, thereby
leading to the override of voters' right to choose their
own nominees in elections.
During the meeting it was agreed that Mr. Ramy
Lakkah will head the party for the 2-year transitional
period, according to the regulations of Egypt's political
parties' system. For the time being the executive office
and the party's supreme body (which will be formed soon)
are being setup. Both of these bodies will contain a number
of members from both parties as well as representatives
from governorates around Egypt. |

Mr. Anwar
Esmat El-Sadat calls the Public Parliament and
political and national forces to promptly visit UAE to
strengthen our extended relationship. The call for renewed
relations stems from the belief that Egypt belongs to
the Arab world, and to expand the development of bilateral
relations, and to maintain the security of Gulf countries
as it is considered a part of Egyptian national security.
El- Sadat stressed that the UAE’s
worries related to Egyptian-Iranian relations, as well
as the issuance of certain judgments against some businessmen,
they are in need for some assurance and security especially
during the current period of regional instability.
El-Sadat added that despite our preoccupation
with internal issues, we must not neglect the external
role of Egypt.
We must encourage
and support the Gulf to increase their investments and
inject new investments for expansion, either in existing
projects or to establish new projects under the Egyptian-Emirati
compatibility.
