The Gungmintong (GMT), also referred to as the Gungmin Party (GMP) or the Fair Rule Party (FRP), is centre to centre-right conservative party in Koja, officially the Federated Kongsis of Koja (FKoK). It is currently the major ruling party of Koja, controlling both the presidency and the legislative branch of the government.
The party was originally formed in the aftermath of the Orchid Revolution of 1966 as a loose coalition of like-minded lawmakers generally associated with the previous Legislative Council and Kongsi Democracy regime. The party's formation was a result of the Democratic Reform Act that ended the practice of appointing bureaucrats to power. Despite their old roots the party won an upset victory, cementing itself as a viable political party in a new democratic environment, as well as giving birth to the current two party system extant in Koja against the Progressives.
As of today the party has produced two Presidents and a continuous majority in Senate since 1968 while Lieu Kien Phin has been the chairman since March 2nd, 1980.
