The Workers' Party (Montenegrin: Radnička partija, Радничка партија, RP) is minor left-wing,[2] populist and socially conservative[3] political party in Montenegro.[4] Party currently has one MP in the Parliament of Montenegro elected from the list of the Democratic Front in the 2016 election.
History
The party was established in 3 March 2015 by Janko Vučinić, former union leader. Since its foundation until 2019, RP was a constituent member of the opposition populist Democratic Front (DF) alliance. In March 2019, the Workers' Party left the coalition with Democratic Front.
On 1 May 2019, the Workers' Party decided to sign an agreement with Socialist People's Party (SNP), United Montenegro (UCG) and Independent parliamentary group to form a new catch-all political alliance under the name For the Benefit of All (Da svako ima).[5][6]
Party leader Vučinić died on October 25, 2019. On November 7, the party announced that party vice-president Željka Savković would replace Vučinić as new party member of Parliament of Montenegro.[7] On December 9, the Workers' Party elected Vučinić's son Maksim Vučinić, an electrical engineer for the new Party president.
