History
Following the 2006 general strike and the rise of the political left-wing in Saint-Baptiste, Peyi–Our Republic was founded on 2 September 2006 as an organization merging various Creole interest groups and NGOs, the largest being the National Union for Creole Speakers. Peyi failed to gain initial success as the anger towards the main two parties subsided by the 2007 election, and the party garnered a electorate between one and two percent of the vote in subsequent elections. For the 2016 presidential election, Peyi endorsed and cooperated with the Baptistois Labour Party, fielding a single candidate for President.
The party faced a major reformation in 2017 under new leader Martial Lozé, adopting the new name of Fanmi ("Family") and and a platform that embraced green politics and an agenda more solidly to the left. In the last parliamentary election, Fanmi garnered 4.27% of the popular vote, its highest yet.
