Dr. Abdel Moneim Aboul Fotouh Abdel Hady (Arabic: عبد المنعم ابو الفتوح عبد الهادي, 
ʕæbdelˈmenʕem abu lfʊˈtuːħ ʕæbdelˈhæːdi or [ʕæbdelˈmonʕem]) (born 15 October 1951) is an Egyptian physician, former student activist and Islamist politician. In 2011–2012, he ran for President of Egypt as an independent. His ideology is Islamist and he was formerly a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood.
He is known for his staunch opposition to the Sadat and Mubarak regimes as well as his openness towards people of different political ideologies, a subject of controversy among some supporters of Egyptian Islamist movements. Affiliated with the Muslim Brotherhood since the early 1970s, Abou al-Fotouh had been a member of the Brotherhood's Guidance Bureau from 1987 until 2009. In 2011, he formally quit all political work with the Muslim Brotherhood and resigned from its membership, following his decision to run for president in the presidential election in 2012. He is currently the secretary-general of the Arab Medical Union.
