One year into its foundation in 2014, the Nation's Future Party ranked second in the first round of Egypt’s parliamentary elections on Oct. 18 and 19. Mohamed Badran, the party’s founder, is 24 years old, making him the youngest head of party in Egypt. Al-Monitor interviewed Badran and asked him about the most important laws that the party will introduce in parliament and the reasons behind the success of his party.

He revealed that education laws are one of his party’s priorities in parliament. Badran rejected the accusations that his party "bought" the candidates who enjoy wide popularity, stressing that his party relied on party cadres.
