The Bahian Renaissance Party (Gaullican: Parti de la Renaissance baïenne, PRB) 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 from the Mabifian Patriotic Movement. Like all Mabifian political groups it is inter-ethnic and inter-confessional in makeup, although often associated with the interests of ethnic Ekole. Since taking power, the party has grown increasingly authoritarian, centring itself upon President Mahmadou Jolleh Bande.
