The Workers Party of Orioni (Oharic: Yeseratenyochi Paritī i-Erwaniye), also known by its acronym WPO, was the first major socialist political party in Orioni. It was formed in 1940 with a commitment to “defend the labour concessions of the Empresses Jomi Nabérrie and Owa Nabérrie.”
In the 1963 election, the Workers Party of Orioni won 36.6% of the vote and increased their representation in the Sibiseba from 26 to 70 seats.

The Workers Party of Orioni used this opportunity to demand and to have passed reforms such as the repeal of a law that prohibited picketing, an eight-hour workday, old-age pensions, inheritance taxes, and a graduated income tax. The Workers Party of Orioni won the 1967 general election in a landslide victory. During the next decade, a lot of progressive social reforms were put in place.
