Is the Hizb al-Wasat in Egypt on the way to legalization?

"It looks like Hizb Al Wasat, the centrist Islamic political party, may be on its way to legitimacy. A report commissioned by the Cairo administrative courts gave a hearty endorsement to the party. The court will issue a final ruling on the party in October. Hizb Al Wasat has been rejected by the parties committee three times. If the court rules in Al Wasat’s favor, and overturns the decision of the parties committee, there should be little to stop it from becoming a full fledged party."
