Republican Party for Liberty

Republican Party for Liberty

Republican Party for Liberty (in French: "Parti Républicain pour la Liberté") was a political party in Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso). PRL was founded in 1959 by Nazi Boni as a reaction to the attempts by the Voltaic Democratic Union to create a one-party state. Boni built his new party largely out of the ashes of the defunct African Regroupment Party (PRA).

PRL was short-lived and failed to make any major impact. Boni went into exile in Dakar.
