The Wahdist Republican Party (WR; Dabiristani: الجمهوريون
The Wahdist Republican Party came into existence shortly after the Wahdist Revolution. Formed and led by centrists and left-wing members, the Wahdist Republicans run in direct opposition to the more right-winged Wahdist League. The Wahdist Republicans struggled to gain support during the early years of their existence but slowly gathered a large following. They won their first National Elections in 1994 following the split of the Wahdist League which resulted in the formation of the [[Combatant Clergy League]] and the presidency of Majed Al-Basim.

Al-Fatah's presidency was seen as a largely successful one but was still plagued with many major obstacles. For one, the National Movement of Dabiristan forced Al-Fatah to change or not implement many of his domestic policies. In addition, the Democracy Movement of Dabiristan disliked how religiously conservative the Wahdist Republican Party was and often caused issues passing bills that were related to religious matters. In the last year of his presidency, Al-Fatah would be assassinated by a communist group. His vice president, Mahdi Al-Nasser, would become acting presidents until the end of the rest of Al-Fatah's term.
Al-Nasser's presidency was in similar fashion to Al-Fatah's. His presidency would be hindered by the coalition and discontent from members within his own party. He would refrain from resigning from his position as acting president but refused to run for office in the 1998 National Elections. He claimed that he and his predecessor had been "betrayed" by their own people. Towards the end of his term, he endorsed Najarvani Al-Musavi to become Chairman of the party.
==Recent years==
Prior to the 1998 National Elections, the National Movement of Dabiristan The Wahdist Republican Party would declare they would leave the coalition following the end of the 1994 term. This meant that even with a coalition, the Wahdist Republicans would not be able to achieve a majority in the Wahdist Consultative Assembly. It would introduce a large campaign aiming to redirect votes from the National Movement of Dabiristan to itself. This campaign saw moderate success and allowed them to earn a few extra seats. Nevertheless, the party still lost the 1998 National Elections to the Combatant Clergy League.
