The Republic of Pulacan is a multi-party democracy, with numerous regional parties holding tribal, class, and ideological loyalty. Though these parties are typically most active in the Republican areas of the country, some are active within the lands of the dikgosi, where they push for grassroots change through the dikgotla direct democratic system. The dominant party in the House of Delegates, the Republic's assigned lower house, elects a Chief Minister, who serves simultaneously as a member of the President's cabinet and as the head of government for the Republican subordinate areas.

Name | Logo | Founded | Ideology | Leader | Delegates | Political position | Description | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nguzo | 1966 | Pan-Ozerosi cooperation, progressivism, pro-integration | Moctezuma Tshireletso* | 92 / 327** | Center-left to left-wing | Formed in the south of Pulacan, Nguzo finds most of its loyalty around Cuicatepec and among the Ngwato people across the dikgosi lands. Formed from a merger of other southern center-left progressive parties, Nguzo stands to this day as the largest of Pulatec parties by active membership. | ||
Juwa | 1912 | Soft Pan-Ozerosi skepticism, democratic socialism, Ixtleconist socialism | Iuitl Mogorosi | 77 / 327 | Center-left to left-wing | Named for the ShiMzanzi word for "Sun," the Juwa party is the largest party in the north of the country. Founded as a moderated adaptation of foreign socialist ideas, Juwa manifestos have steadily evolved over time to encapsulate a religious message pertaining to the Tlaloc Sect of Ixtleconism. Their most recent manifesto, "Governing for the People through Divine Fire and Water," contains the party's most explicit use of religious imagery in outlining its platform. | ||
National Jubilee | 1954 | Conservatism, economic liberalism, Pan-Ozerosi cooperation | Tepiltzin Tecuanhuehue | 58 / 327 | Center-right | Formed from a merger of multiple conservative parties, the NJ serves as the vanguard for old-style conservatism in Pulacan, and one of the only major parties not pushing for further integration of the tribal nations. | ||
League for Liberty and Change | 2011 | Pan-Ozerosi skepticism, pro-integration, nationalist populism | Keabetswe Ngele | 50 / 327 | Big tent | Founded by Keabetswe Ngele in 2011, the party surged in popularity, gaining 30 seats by the 2020 general election. When then-Chief Minister Iuitl Mogorosi moved to expand the Juwa majority via the 2022 snap election, they were upset by a huge loss of seats as many Ozerosi skeptics switched to the rising LLC. The party continues to grow in popularity as an alternative party and a shake-up of the establishment system. | ||
United in Humanity | 1977 | Technocratic socialism, directorial socialism, Pan-Ozerosi cooperation | Megawati Sudionoputri | 26 / 327 | Left-wing | UH is a coalition of former AON guest workers in Pulau Keramat and Pulaui immigrants who wish to replicate the technocratic socialism of Pulau and Tsurushima in Pulacan and replace the current political order.
