(AhlulBayt News Agency) - A Cairo court on Saturday approved the establishment of an Egyptian political party that has been trying to secure an official license for 15 years, judicial sources said.
The Wasat Party (Center Party) has applied four times for an official license since the 1990s. Saturday's ruling made it the first party to gain official status since President Hosni Mubarak was toppled on February 11. The ruling will allow the Wasat Party, founded by a former member of the Muslim Brotherhood, to take part in forthcoming elections.
