The Bahian Renaissance Party (Gaullican: Parti de la Renaissance baïenne (PRB); Ndjarendie: Fedde Bagge-Jibinannde Bahïa (FBJB)) is a Big tent Bahian nationalist political party in Mabifia. Since 1990 the party has been the dominant force in Mabifian politics. It was founded in 1979 during the democratisation of Mabifia following the Second Mabifian civil war and initially repesented the more conservative rural areas of the country such as the Boual ka Bifie, being strongly dominated by Ndjarendie. While the party was initially Irfanic in its goals, it merged with several Ouloume and Catholic after the 1986 elections in order to establish a wider voting base. Since taking power, the party has gradually lowered its ideological committments and grown increasingly authoritarian, centring itself upon President Mahmadou Jolleh-Bande.
