Socialist Popular Alliance Party

Egypt

The Socialist People's Alliance Party (Arabic: حزب التحالف الشعبي الإشتراكي‎ Hizb Al-Tahalof Al-Shaeby Al-Ishtiraky, SPAP) is a leftist party in Egypt formed shortly after the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. Its membership comprises many leftist organisations, mainly former members of the Tagammu Party (the only formal leftist party under Hosni Mubarak's reign) who resigned, later joining the party after a split over the party's position on the November 2010 parliamentary elections. The party has been officially recognized on 3 September 2011.
