The Civil Rule Party (正民會, Jongmin hoe, CRP), sometimes referred to as the Civil Right 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 dissolved Liberal Party were divided into factions such as Bae Jong-duk, 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]Among these figures Byeon Yeong-tae, Yoon Jae-geun and In Tae-sik founded the Civil Rule Party with the aim of ending military rule and restore civil rule.[4]
In the 1963 presidential elections the party nominated Yun 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.[5][6]
