The alliance was publicly announced on 3 November 2011.[1]

In the 2011/2012 parliamentary elections, the Islamist Block won 7,534,266 votes out of 27,065,135 correct votes, or roughly 27.8% of all votes. The Alliance thus received 96 seats out of 332 in the Egyptian Parliament. The 96 seats were divided between members of the Alliance as follows:
- Al-Nour Party: 83 seats
- Building and Development Party: 10 seats
- Authenticity Party: 3 seats
In addition, independent candidates of the Al-Nour Party won 28 seats out of the 168 seats allocated for independent candidates.
