Khaled Dawoud is the former leader of the Constitution Party of Egypt.^[6]

Dawoud has been a journalist for Al-Ahram Weekly since 1996.^[7]

Dawoud was a founding member of the Pioneer Party and planned to run in the 2011–12 Egyptian parliamentary election.^[5]

Dawoud resigned as a spokesperson for the National Salvation Front (NSF) on 16 August 2013 in protest at the support of police violence against Mohamed Morsi supporters by the NSF.^[8] Dawoud was stabbed by Mohammed Morsi supporters on 4 October 2013.^[9]

He was appointed the head of the Constitution Party on 25 January 2017^[1] and resigned as the head of the party on 13 May 2018.^[2]

Following video releases by Mohamed Ali in September 2019 accusing Sisi of corruption and calling for anti-Sisi street protests, Dawoud called for investigations of the corruption claims. He was arrested on 25 September 2019, after protests across Egypt started on 21 and 22 September.^[10] On 14 April 2020, Dawoud was released from jail.^[11]

Dawoud ran against Gameela Ismail for the leadership of the party in June 2022, which he lost.^[12]

He resigned as the spokesperson of the Civil Democratic Movement over the shifting of decision-making from a consensual model to a vote-based model, and later joined the Egyptian Social Democratic Party.^[4]
