Republican Party (Iceland, 2013)
(Redirected from Republican Party (Iceland, Current))
The Republican Party (Icelandic: Lýðveldisflokkurinn) is a political party in Iceland. It is not the same as the 1953 party with an identical name, although the name was chosen as a homage to that party.
It was officially granted list letter I on 8 March 2013, and started to compose a candidate list for participation in the 2013 Icelandic parliamentary election.[1] It, however, forwent participation in the election, choosing to merge with seven other parties into the new Households Party, which will contest the election with the list letter I.[2][3][4]
