Common card · No. 328399

The Wafd Party (Arabic: حزب الوفد, romanized: Ḥizb al-Wafd, lit. 'Delegation Party') was a nationalist liberal political party in Egypt. It was said to be Egypt's most popular and influential political party for a period from the end of World War I through the 1930s. During this time, it was instrumental in the development of the 1923 constitution, and supported moving Egypt from dynastic rule to a constitutional monarchy, where power would be wielded by a nationally-elected parliament. The party was dissolved in 1953, after the 1952 Egyptian revolution.
