The Internal Macedonian Revolutionary OrganizationDemocratic Party for Macedonian National Unity ( _mk. Внатрешна македонска револуционерна организацијаДемократска партија за македонско национално единство, ВМРО-ДПМНЕ, "Vnatrešna makedonska revolucionerna organizacijaDemokratska partija za makedonsko nacionalno edinstvo", VMRODPMNE) is a right-of-centre political party in the Republic of Macedonia. The party describes itself as a Christian Democratic party which supports the admission of Macedonia to NATO and the European Union.

The party's name derives from the Internal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization, a 19th century rebel movement. The original organization was suppressed in the 1930s, at which time the territory of the current Republic of Macedonia was part of Yugoslavia. The VMRODPMNE claims ideological descent from the old VMRO.

Following the death of Josip Broz Tito in 1980, Yugoslavia began to disintegrate and democratic politics were revived in Macedonia. Many exiles returned to Macedonia from abroad, and a new generation of young Macedonian intellectuals rediscovered the history of Macedonian nationalism. In these circumstances it was not surprising that the name of the famed Macedonian rebels was revived. Under the name VMRODPMNE, the party was founded on June 17 1990 in Skopje.

After the first multi-party elections in 1990, VMRODPMNE became the strongest party in the Parliament, but did not form a government, because it did not have a majority of seats and would have had to make a coalition with an ethnic Albanian party, which it refused to do. The party boycotted the second round of the 1994 elections claiming that fraud had happened in the first round. At the Kičevo Congress in 1995, deciding that it could not gain international support to form a government as long as it was nationalistic, VMRODPMNE became a moderate party with Christian Democratic orientation. After winning the 1998 election VMRODPMNE surprised many people when formed coalition government with the Democratic Party of Albanians. In 1999 the VMRODPMNE's candidate Boris Trajkovski was elected President, completing VMRODPMNE's takeover. Once in office Trajkovski pursued a much more moderate policy than expected.

In 2002 VMRODPMNE's government was defeated at the legislative elections. In an alliance with the Liberal Party of Macedonia, VMRODPMNE won 28 out of 120 seats. In 2004 Trajkovski died in a plane crash and Branko Crvenkovski was elected President, defeating the VMRODPMNE's candidate Saško Kedev.

The first leader of the VMRODPMNE was Ljubčo Georgievski, who served as prime minister from 1998 to 2002, and the current is Nikola Gruevski.

The party became the largest party in Parliament again after a net gain of over a dozen seats in the July 5, 2006 parliamentary elections. With 44 of 120 seats, the party formed a government in coalition with the Democratic Party of Albanians.

In May 15, 2007, the party became an observer-member of the European People's Party (EPP).

On the 1st of June, 2008, following the dismissal of the Macedonian Parliamenton the 12th of April, 2008, early parliamentary elections were held. The elections were followed by series of violent incidents in the north-western parts of Macedonia by the Albanian minority, which has national majority in those parts of Macedonia, while in the other parts of Macedonia, the elections were followed in peaceful, fair and democratic atmosphere. The results were victorious for VMRO-DPMNE and for its leader and prime minister of Macedonia, Nikola Gruevski. In the 120 seats Parliament, VMRO-DPMNE won 63 seats, enough to form its own government, and by that, the party won 4 more years of dominance in the Macedonian Parliament (mandate period 2008-2012) and government control. The acting President of the Republic of Macedonia (mandate period 2004-2009), Branko Crvenkovski, acknowledged the victory of VMRO-DPMNE on the 1st of June, 2008 parliamentary elections, and after the Parliament constituted itself on the 21st of June, 2008, the President Branko Crvenkovski on the 23rd of June, 2008 gave the VMRO-DPMNE's leader and current and future prime minister Nikola Gruevski the mandate to form the new
Government of the Republic of Macedonia (mandate period 2008-2012).
