The National Besmenian Party (Besmenian: Nationale Besmenische Partei) is a national conservative and right-wing populist party in Besmenia.

The NBP is represented in the Federal Chamber since 1993. The National Besmenian Party was formed by the merger of the Besmenian Republican Party and the National Besmenian Alliance on July 10, 1990. The party is accused of having a close relationship with right-wing extremism. As a result, most of the other major parties have no interest in forming a coalition with the NBP.

The NBP is currently represented with 43 deputies in the Federal Chamber and in twelve of the thirteen state chambers. Between 1998 and 2008, the NBP ruled as the strongest party in a coalition with the BVP in the Besmenian federal state of Greuningia, with then party leader Alexander von Wiest as governor.

Background

The predecessor of the National Besmenian Party was the Besmenian Republican Party, which was founded in 1956 and was represented in the Federal Chamber from 1960 to 1989. Between 1972 and 1980, the BRP was involved as a junior partner in a governing coalition with the BVP under Robert Gleitzmann. The 1980s were marked by internal crises and conflicts because, like the BVP, the BRP had come under massive criticism as a result of the Gleitzmann scandal that erupted in 1983 and had to take electoral losses. While the BVP under Erik Tautenbach managed to overcome the consequences of the Gleitzmann scandal in the late 1980s and was able to show electoral successes again, the BRP did not manage to do so under its chairman Helmut Schwarzberg. In the 1989 election, the BRP failed to get into the Federal Chamber with an overall result of 4.6%
