The Conservative Party ({{langx|ar|حزب المحافظين}} Hizb Al-Mohafezeen) is a political party in Egypt. The party was founded by Mostafa Abdel Aziz, a writer and journalist. In its foundation the party included many notable Egyptian journalists and public figures. The current leader, Akmal Kertam, was an influential member of the National Democratic Party.{{Cite news|title=Conservative Party's ads banned from Egyptian TV|url=http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/1/64/26550/Egypt/Politics-/Conservative-Partys-ads-banned-from-Egyptian-TV.aspx|work=Al-Ahram|date=14 November 2011|access-date=13 December 2013}} The party froze all activities in 2010, as a rejection of the political and security laws that were forced upon other political parties in that era by the former Mubarak regime, as well as due to the low funding it had. Yet after the 2011 Egyptian revolution, and with new free laws for political activity, the party notified governmental institutions that it would be active once again.{{citation needed|date=February 2019}} The party is part of the political Egyptian opposition.{{Cite news|title='Union to Defend the Constitution' brings opposition forces together to reject constitutional amendments|url=https://madamasr.com/en/2019/02/07/feature/u/union-to-defend-the-constitution-brings-opposition-forces-together-to-reject-constitutional-amendments/|work=Mada Masr|date=7 February 2019|access-date=17 February 2019}}
