| abstract | - In Egypt, the Muslim Brotherhood "has shown an increased interest in participation in the political process since 2003. While the movement had been intermittently active in electoral politics in the past, its recent participation has been more substantial and far more successful, the result of a considerable organizational and planning effort. In 2005, the Muslim Brotherhood won almost 20 percent of the seats of the People’s Assembly (lower, directly elected chamber of the Egyptian parliament), becoming the strongest opposition movement challenging Mubarak’s semiauthoritarian regime. Overcoming the obstacles created by a highly restrictive domestic political scene and its status as a banned organization since 1954, the Brotherhood has fashioned in recent years a political platform prioritizing participation as an opposition movement in legislative bodies. The movement has called on the regime to move Egyptian politics beyond the limited pluralism persistent since the 1970s by introducing democratic reforms. The Brotherhood has downplayed, if not abandoned, the goals of establishing an Islamic state of sorts or assuming power and implementing revolutionary changes in Egyptian society and politics."
