Abstract: Party politics in Egypt grew tremendously in the twentieth century. As a country with a large youth population,Egypt does witness the great importance of youth in political participation.However,inherent problems in Egyptian history,religion and society,together with solid existence of authoritarian politics since the Gamal Abdel Nasser era,have exerted profound negative effects on political participation and claims of youth. Being a vital platform for youth political participation,political parties became obstacles to fulfilling youth political ambitions due to a generation gap between the young and the old accompanied by pressure from the government,which has caused extremely harsh consequences. It is the evolution of political participation of Egyptian youth that continues to determine the trends of democratic politics in Egypt and social stability in the country.
