The National Front Party (Arabic: حزب الجبهة الوطنية, Hizb Al-Jabha Al-Wataniyya)[4] is a political party in Libya, formed in May 2012. It is the successor to the National Front for the Salvation of Libya, an anti-Gaddafi resistance movement founded in 1981.[2] Its ideology is considered liberal and progressive, and Libya Herald writer George Grant described the party as "arguably the most liberal-leaning of all in Congress."[1][3]
NFP holds 3 seats in the General National Congress (GNC), making it the third largest party.[5] Its leader, Mohamed el-Magariaf served as the President of the GNC from 9 August 2012 to 28 May 2013.[6][7]
