Political parties

The National Republican People's Party (Principean: Parti populaire républicain national, PPRN) was a political organization in Saint-Baptiste. Created in 1952 as a vehicle of support for President Claude-Antoine Bachelet, the PPRN was the party of power in the country from its creation until its dissolution in 1990, during the democratization of Saint-Baptiste. The organization officially was succeeded by the Democratic Centre Union. Although often referred to as a political party in foreign media and including the term "party" in its name, the PPRN acted more as an extension of the Bachelet regime, including within its ranks the vast majority of the state's public servants and politicians. The organization never independently formed an ideological foundation, nor ran in any elections, as the constitution was suspended during its entire existence.

Election results

The National Republican People's Party never ran in a Baptistois election in any capacity, as it existed during a period of martial law and the suspension of elections. In 1990, various PPRN-affiliated politicians began to discuss the organization running in the slated 1991 elections as Saint-Baptiste quickly began democratizing, but it was ultimately decided to fold the PPRN and register the succeeding Democratic Centre Union instead, partially as a way to purge hardline personalities from the pro-regime movement.
