The American Reform Party is a minor political party in the United States that was formed in a factional split from the larger Reform Party of the United States in October 1997. The split occurred when some members of the Reform Party, believing that party founder Ross Perot had rigged the party's 1996 presidential nomination for himself, walked out of the national convention.
Although members of the group attempted to persuade former Colorado Governor Dick Lamm, Perot's chief rival for the nomination, to run for president as an Independent, he declined, pointing out that he had promised before running that he would not challenge the party's decision.
Since then, the ARP has yet to organize in more than a few states. In both 2000 and 2004, the American Reform Party supported Ralph Nader for president.
The Reform Party of Northern Mariana Islands is an affiliate of the American Reform Party.
