People's Redemption Party
- People's Redemption Party
The People's Redemption Party was a political party in Nigeria. Often considered the Second Republic incarnation of the Northern Elements Progressive Union, the party was created by the late Mallam Aminu Kano. The PRP was highly regarded as a progressive left of center political party. Some well known members of the party included Governors Abubakar Rimi, Balarabe Musa, Dr. Edward Ikem Okeke, and Chinua Achebe — who served briefly as Deputy National President in the early 1980s.
The original party was banned following the Military Coup of 1984 led by General Buhari.
A new party with the same name but with little or no resemblance or affinity or affiliation to the original PRP was created in the last National Election in Nigeria of 1999. In the last legislative elections, April 12, 2003, the party won 0.8 % of popular votes and 1 out of 360 seats in the House of Representatives of Nigeria and no seats in the Senate.
