1924 CE to 1935 CE

Political life in Egypt from the mid twenties to the Second World War will be described as basically triangular, consisting of the king, the Wafd, and the British.

The basis of British power is its army of occupation as well as British officials in the administration, police, and army.

The king's power rests on the rights he can exercise in accordance with the 1923 constitution and partly on the permanence of his position.

The king's rights include selecting and appointing the prime minister, dismissing the cabinet, and dissolving Parliament.

The Wafd's power is based on its popular support and its command of a vast majority in Parliament.
