The Wahdist League (WL) is a major political party in Dabiristan and one of two major parties in Dabiristani politics, along with the [[Wahdist Republicans]]. The party is the current ruling party of Dabiristan following its victory in the 2022 National Elections. It is the oldest continuous political party in Dabiristan, being established on 20 March 1976.
The Wahdist League as a political party was not a legal party until the successful Wahdist Revolution which overthrew the Qawahtanate. It proceeded to win the [[First Dabiristani National Elections]] and established itself as one of the primary political
==History==
On 20 October 1976, Ayatollah Azageh established the “Wahdist League”; a political party calling for the downfall of the Qawahtanate. It went through severe repression but still managed to see exponential member growth. As [[Qawahtan Hashemi II]] refused to back down from his reforms, the populace of Dabiristan became more disillusioned with his rule and more sympathetic to the Wahdist League.
On 12 January 1977, the death of Abdullah Ibn-Hamad, a prominent member of the Wahdist League, led to a series of riots in cities across Dabiristan. The populace blamed Hashemi II for his death by claiming he had ordered his assassination. Hashemi II managed to maintain some amounts of stability by brutally cracking down on the rioters. Mass arrests and use of tear gas caused the disruption of the riots. The riots would gradually die down over the next few months.
On October 1977, Ayatollah Azageh, founder and chairman of the Wahdist League, and three other members of the Wahdist League were exiled. Ayatollah Azageh then claimed that there had been an attempted assassination attempt for his life but it had failed. This prompted another series of riots. This time, the Dabiristani army and police force were unable to quell the riots as cities began falling to the rioters. Desperate measures were soon undertaken such as the use of live rounds to quell the rioters. This brought Dabiristan close to civil war, however, in a sudden move, Qawahtan Hashemi II abdicated in December of 1977 and gave power to his eldest son. This move led to the riots slowly dying down and the Qawahtanate was able to again retain control of the nation.
Mahdi Ibn-Hashemi was crowned in January 1978 and became Qawahtan Mahdi III. It was widely believed during Mahdi's reign, there would be a reversal of his fathers unpopular reforms. However, Qawahtan Mahdi III doubled down on the reforms and began to implement them even more aggresively than his father. Ayatollah Azageh called for another series of protests in April of 1978. These protests would see no success and Mahdi III would continue to implement the reforms.
