Abstract

The group of Ekhvan ol- Moslemin in time of General Hosni Mubarak took his political strategy as the mode of participation in parliamentary election and with too much delay, it joined the uprising of Egyptian people against Hosni Mubarak in the early months of 2011. Following the downfall of Mubarak and the victory in parliamentary and presidency election, this group was not of any predetermined plan towards the authoritarianism and stabilization of the democracy. After a while, many other political groups disagreed with this group and the army tried to abuse these divergences in an opportunistic way, it did a coup detat against Mohammad Morsi and actually Ekhvan via the support of judiciary and al- Azhar. Through the descriptive-analytical method, the present article is to seek the answer of this question related to the reasons of failure of Ekhvan in Egypt following the downfall of Mubarak and in this very framework and taking advantage of the dispute between structure and agent, it has presented hypothesis that the collection of structural reasons as well as the inappropriate action of Ekhvan and political groups (by the preference of action role) led to the failure of Ekhvan in preserving power and the fulfillment of democracy following the downfall of Hosni Mubarak
