The Congress Party (Arabic: حزب المؤتمر المصري), or Conference Party,[4] is a secularist political party in Egypt.[5] It was created by the merger of five liberal and leftist parties,[6] as well as remnants of the former NDP-regime.[7]
The Conference Party participated in a 12 January 2015 meeting of multiple parties chaired by Egyptian president Abdel Fattah el-Sisi.[1]
