Republican People's Party

The Republican People's Party is a right-wing political party in Darnussia. It proclaims itself to be a 'liberal conservative national party', but many commentators argue it is firmly a right-wing nationalist group.

Founded in 2001 by various elements of the Darnussian right, the RPP - unlike many other right-wing groups - place a strong emphasis on republicanism, and advocate for the abolition of the Assembly of Nobles and the Secretary General. In this, they have found unlikely allies in many on Darnussia's left.

The majority of the RPP's support has come from disenchanted working-class former NLP and DSP voters, mostly among ethnic Kozers. Most right-wing Narikis continue to support the NLP and the VAP.

The RPP has been in government twice, both times as the junior coalition partner of the NLP. They were in government between 2006-2012, and 2016-2019. In 2019, Governor General Marcus Ruben took the unprecidented step of expelling the RPP from government and continuing to rule as a minority administration. This was on account of the RPPs hard-right policy statements, which ran contrary to the centrist platform being pursued by the NLP. The NLP turned towards the centre-right VAP for support instead.
