History
The party was established in August 2010 as a merger of the Kiribati Independent Party and Protect the Maneaba.[1] The new party held 12 seats, making it the largest opposition faction, resulting in its leader Rimeta Beniamina being appointed Leader of the Opposition.[1] However, she later defected to the Maurin Kiribati Party (MKP).[1]
In the 2011 parliamentary elections it won ten seats, and was able to nominate Tetaua Taitai for the 2012 presidential elections. Taitai finished second with 35% of the vote.
In January 2016 it merged with the MKP to form the Tobwaan Kiribati Party.[2]
gollark: At 85% efficiency my hydrogen-hydrogen reactor only makes 37kRF/t. Accounting for electromagnets, 17kRF/t or so. This is worse than the reactor powering it.
gollark: The power output is, really, very disappointing, though.
gollark: I have an excess of deuterium, though, and nothing to do with it.
gollark: Seems to be the case, according to my testing by moving a wire.
gollark: The power appears to be vanishing into the void. I suspect that the reactor is pushing into cables which aren't connected but are adjacent.
