Our Republican Party (2017)

Not to be confused with Uri Party or Our Republican Party (2020).

The Our Republican Party (Korean: 우리공화당; RR: Urigonghwadang), formerly the Korean Patriots' Party (대한애국당), was a far-right political party in South Korea known primarily for its pro-Park Geun-hye stance. It was formed following a split within the New Saenuri Party. The party strongly supported former president Park Geun-hye.[7]

In June 2019, the party elevated Hong Moon-jong, a National Assembly member who left the Liberty Korea Party, as its leader along with incumbent Cho Won-jin.[8][9] Originally, the party planned to change its name as New Republican Party (신공화당),[8][9] but faced a legal issue. On 24 June, the party changed the name to Our Republican Party. The party claimed that the new name came from Park Geun-hye herself.[10]

In March 2020, the party merged with the Liberty Unification Party to form the Liberty Republican Party.
