==History==
===Early
The Wahdist Republican Party was registered as an official political party on [date]. Despite being officially formed on [date], the party had unofficially functioned for around a month. Mostafa Al-Mousafavi became chairman of the party upon its registration. His leadership earned the party a small following and allowed it to secure a small but significant number of seats. Mostafa Al-Mousafavi would continue to serve for a second term until his death in 1989.
Line 28:
The party would elect Feroz Ali-Shariati in as chairman after Al-Mousafavi's death. His chairmanship would focus on appealing to the working class which, up until Al-Basim's presidency, had supported the Wahdist League.

Ali-Shariati would still lose the 1990 National Elections but would set the basis for the victory of Taha Al-Fatah.

Al-Fatah would gain the largest amounts of seat in the Wahdist Consultative Assembly but fail to gain majority. This would force him to form a coalition with the Democracy Movement of Dabiristan and National Movement of Dabiristan.
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.
