Ismail Sidky emerges as the "strong man"…

1924 CE to 1935 CE

Ismail Sidky emerges as the "strong man" of Egyptian politics and an ardent opponent of the Wafd.

It is he who abolishes the constitution in 1930 and drafts another that enhances the power of the monarch.

He forms his own party, Al Hizb ash Shaab, which will merge with the Ittihad Party in 1938.

Also in 1938, dissident members of the Wafd will form the Saadist Party, named after Saad Zaghlul.
