What leftist political party was formed after the third President of Egypt succeeded Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1970?
Khaled Mohieddin Khaled Mohieddine (born August 17, 1922) (Arabic: خالد محيى الدين‎ ‎ , ] ) was an Egyptian politician and a major in the Egyptian Army. He participated in the Egyptian Revolution of 1952, as a member of the Free Officers Movement, which overthrew the monarchy under King Farouk. He held important political and media roles throughout Gamal Abdel Nasser's presidency, although the two had a number of fall-outs as well. His political influence diminished during the early part of Anwar Sadat's presidency until he founded the leftist political party National Progressive Union Party (Tagammu) in 1976. Under Mohieddine's leadership, Tagammu became a significant opposition force during Hosni Mubarak's rule.
