United Republican Party (Guyana)

History

The URP was established in the United States by Vishnu Bandhu in March 1985, before being launched in Guyana in November 1987;[1] it was formally registered on 26 April 1988.[1] In 1990 it suffered a split when some members left to form the National Republican Party.[2] The party contested the 1992 general elections, but received just 0.4% of the vote and failed to win a seat.[3]

The URP did not contest any further elections until 2015, when, still led by Bandhu, it received just 432 votes (0.11%), again failing to win a seat.[4]

gollark: Oneplus 5s are apparently not too horrible to replace batteries in, and not terribly expensive I guess.
gollark: Well, nonremovable, it may be *replaceable* with some tools, although on some evil devices you need to literally unglue the screen or something.
gollark: Or, well, non-removable, maybe replaceable-with-effort.
gollark: I checked, and the OP3 has a non-replaceable battery.
