Significance
Al-Nour Party was the only Islamist political group to participate in the elections. However, the conservative Salafist party has seen its fortunes decline, from being the second most successful party in the relatively diverse political landscape of 2011-13, to an underperforming one in the current parliamentary elections.
Impacts
Al-Nour's lack of credibility among Egyptian Islamists will obstruct its development.
As a result the Muslim Brotherhood will have greater influence as and when the regime reconciles with political Islamists.
Supporters of the state, especially the media, will view al-Nour as an extension of the Brotherhood.
