The Supreme Justice Authority discusses the party’s plan for the upcoming elections in the presence of Dr. Hossam Badrawi

‎In the presence of Dr. Hossam Badrawi, the Supreme Authority for Justice discusses the party’s plan for the upcoming elections.

The Justice Party held its first meeting of the Supreme Authority after the by-elections, in the presence of Dr. Hossam Badrawi, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the party, MP Abdel Moneim Emam, Chairman of the party, MP Ahmed El-Qanawy, Secretary-General of the party, and MP Zainab El-Salaimi, Assistant Chairman of the party.

The meeting was also attended by 70 party leaders, members of the Supreme Authority and the Political Bureau.

MP Ahmed El-Qanawy opened the meeting by announcing the results of the recent by-elections and the names of the winning members of the Supreme Authority.

MP Abdel Moneim Emam confirmed that the party will provide all the necessary support and effort to the candidates in the upcoming elections, which will contribute to achieving the best results.

Emam also discussed the current political situation and his expectations regarding the upcoming electoral system, and the party’s current consultations with a number of democratic parties to announce an electoral alliance during the coming period.
Dr. Hossam Badrawi, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the party, pointed out the importance of strengthening the role of the Justice Party in the political arena, as the party is not a loyal party, but an opposition party that builds and does not destroy, and represents an ideology, which is social liberalism.

He said: The upcoming elections and the relentless pursuit of participating in them for the largest number of seats is important for the party to prove that it is an important number in the electoral and political equation, so that Justice embodies that it has become a party that is taken into account internally and externally, and to achieve this we need intensive work to have 600 candidates to choose the most qualified among them to run for the party’s nominations, whether individually or on lists.

The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the party stressed the need to move from describing crises to working to solve them, noting that the Justice Party must have an institutional vision capable of achieving sustainability, and that the current strategic goal of the party must be how to reach the best elements close to and convinced of the party’s ideology and able to represent it before the people.

Badrawi continued: “This is a battle that requires organization and funding, as there are individuals who can finance their campaigns themselves, and others who need the party’s financial support.

For his part, MP Ahmed El-Qanawy explained, in response to the directives of Dr. Hossam Badrawi, Chairman of the Party’s Board of Trustees, that the party is currently focusing on organizing events with a deep impact, explaining: “We are implementing between 8 and 12 monthly events in influential fields, and we are currently working on preparing a major event in cooperation between the Central Secretariat in Cairo and the Hurghada Secretariat on tourism, in addition to four events in the field of development in Upper Egypt, including in Assiut and Aswan. We are also planning to hold an alternative policies conference under the title ‘Economic Alternatives’, in addition to a special conference on the status and future of education in Egypt.” Some members asked Dr. Hossam to lead the formation of a Board of Trustees for the alliance that ensures following the path of social liberalism and includes figures who respect that

About Dr. Hossam Badrawi

Dr. Hossam Badrawi
He is a politician, intellect, and prominent physician. He is the former head of the Gynecology Department, Faculty of Medicine Cairo University. He conducted his post graduate studies from 1979 till 1981 in the United States. He was elected as a member of the Egyptian Parliament and chairman of the Education and Scientific Research Committee in the Parliament from 2000 till 2005. As a politician, Dr. Hossam Badrawi was known for his independent stances. His integrity won the consensus of all people from various political trends. During the era of former president Hosni Mubarak he was called The Rationalist in the National Democratic Party NDP because his political calls and demands were consistent to a great extent with calls for political and democratic reform in Egypt. He was against extending the state of emergency and objected to the National Democratic Party's unilateral constitutional amendments during the January 25, 2011 revolution. He played a very important political role when he defended, from the very first beginning of the revolution, the demonstrators' right to call for their demands. He called on the government to listen and respond to their demands. Consequently and due to Dr. Badrawi's popularity, Mubarak appointed him as the NDP Secretary General thus replacing the members of the Bureau of the Commission. During that time, Dr. Badrawi expressed his political opinion to Mubarak that he had to step down. He had to resign from the party after 5 days of his appointment on February 10 when he declared his political disagreement with the political leadership in dealing with the demonstrators who called for handing the power to the Muslim Brotherhood. Therefore, from the very first moment his stance was clear by rejecting a religion-based state which he considered as aiming to limit the Egyptians down to one trend. He considered deposed president Mohamed Morsi's decision to bring back the People's Assembly as a reinforcement of the US-supported dictatorship. He was among the first to denounce the incursion of Morsi's authority over the judicial authority, condemning the Brotherhood militias' blockade of the Supreme Constitutional Court. Dr. Hossam supported the Tamarod movement in its beginning and he declared that toppling the Brotherhood was a must and a pressing risk that had to be taken few months prior to the June 30 revolution and confirmed that the army would support the legitimacy given by the people
