Mostafa el-Nahas Pasha or Mostafa Nahas (Arabic: مصطفى النحاس باشا; June 15, 1879 – August 23, 1965) was an Egyptian politician who served as the Prime Minister for five terms, the most out of any politician during Egypt's parliamentary era. He was the leader of the Wafd Party after the death of its founder Saad Zaghloul.[1][2]

Early life, education and exile

He was born in Samanud (Gharbiyya) where his father was a lumber merchant. He graduated from el-Nasiraiyah Elementary School in Cairo in 1891. He then graduated from the Khedivial Secondary School in 1896.[1]

Political history

He became minister for communications during Zaghloul's ministry in 1924. Reelected in 1926 as a deputy from Sir Abu Nanna (Gharbiyya) and barred by the British from taking another cabinet post, he was elected one of the Chamber's two vice presidents and, in 1927, its president. Upon Saad Zaghloul's death in August 1927, he defeated Saad's nephew in the contest to lead the Wafd Party.[1]
