The Civil Rule Party (Korean민정당; Hanja民政黨, CRP), sometimes referred to as the Civil Rights Party, was a political party in South Korea. The party was the successor to the Democratic Party, supported by former President Yun Posun, and future Presidents Kim Dae-jung and Kim Young-sam.[1]

History[]

In the aftermath of April Revolution and May 16 coup, figures from the de facto defunct Liberal Party were divided into factions such as Bae Jong-duk, future members of the Civil Rule Party such as Kim Beop-lin, members of the Democratic Republican Party such as Lee Hwal, and figures who strived to found a new independent party such as Lee Beom-seok.[2][3]

In the 1963 presidential elections the party nominated Yun Posun as its candidate. He finished second in the vote, losing to Park Chung-hee by 1.5%. In the November legislative elections it received 20.1% of the vote and won 41 seats in the National Assembly.[4][5]
