The Revolution against the monarchy occurred in 1954 and succeeded in the same year, bringing the Nasserists to power. They began the process of elections and claimed that Egypt was a democracy, but is important to note that Egypt was typically termed an Illiberal Democracy during this period. While there would be democratic elections often times the results are nullified by the state there would be only one candidate.
Since the Arab Spring Revolution in Egypt, in 2011-2012, Egypt has become more democratic, but SCAF (the Egyptian Army), still holds a lot of power, making the current Egyptian State a hybrid between a democracy and military junta to be resolved with the writing of a new constitution.
