It was founded by former diplomat Hassan Ragab in 1990, experienced a hiatus in 1995, and was revived in 1998. In the internal party elections in 2000 Dr. Abdel Munem Ali Ali Al Aasar was elected president of the Green Party.[1] He was later appointed to the Shura Council (the upper House of Egypt's parliament).[1] However, political activities became increasingly difficult in the final years of the Mubarak regime and the party remained ineffective.[2]
There was a revival in the aftermath of the Arab Spring in 2011, and the party fielded candidates in the 2012 elections. The party is currently a member of the Global Greens and the African Greens.[3][4]
