This organization supports the candidates of the "Egyptian bloc" and calls on Christians to elect them.

Bishop Bula, bishop of Tantā and head of the Clerical Council for Personal Status issues, had sent a list of candidates to nine governorates. This list was prepared by the General Coptic Organization in Egypt.

Al-Hurīyah wal-'Adālah newspaper had exclusively published before the sources of donation of this organization which is known to be close to the church.
