ENAG's stated aim is to overthrow what is described by the group as military rule in Egypt. The group claimed to have reached "consensus on a number of principles and priorities". Ayman Nour described the "values that unite" ENAG as "democracy, human dignity, justice, equality and freedom". ENAG criticised the Egyptian government, led by president Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, for repression of dissidents, and for "neglect[ing] the homeland's wealth and capabilities, humiliat[ing] and suppress[ing] citizens and endanger[ing] Egypt's national security". In January 2020, Nour judged Sisi's government to be "weak and frightened".
