TheInternal Macedonian Revolutionary Organization – People's Party (Macedonian:Внатрешна македонска револуционерна организација – Народна Партија,romanized: Vnatrešna makedonska revolucionerna organizacija – Narodna Partija), shortened asVMRO – People's Party (Macedonian:ВMPO–Народна Партија,romanized: VMRO – Narodna Partija) andVMRO–NP (Macedonian:ВMPO–НП), is anational-conservative[1]political party inNorth Macedonia, founded by the former Prime MinisterLjubčo Georgievski, who split from theVMRO–DPMNE. The VMRO–NP was founded inSkopje on 4 July 2004. Vesna Janevska was elected as the party's first chairwoman. It is among the smaller parties of the country.[6]
VMRO–NP was founded on 4 July 2004 by formerVMRO–DPMNE leaderLjubčo Georgievski due to personal and ideological differences with his successorNikola Gruevski. Vesna Janevska became the party's first president.[3] In the2006 parliamentary election, VMRO–NP won 6.1% of the vote and 6 seats in theAssembly. In the2011 parliamentary election, VMRO–NP received 28,500 votes (2.51%), losing all of its seats.[7] In April 2007, Gjorgji Trendafilov became the party's leader.[8] VMRO–NP remained an extra-parliamentary party until the2020 parliamentary election, when it participated in theWe Can alliance led by theSocial Democratic Union of Macedonia (SDSM) and won one seat. Georgievski succeeded to the position of party president on 26 February 2012.[9]
In the2024 parliamentary elections, the party participated in a coalition led by SDSM and lost one seat.
According toRadio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, its party program resembles VMRO–DPMNE's program.[10] The VMRO–NP's statute allowed dual membership in both parties. The party identifies itself as a right-wing conservative and patriotic party, with aChristian democratic orientation. It supports the Euro-Atlantic integration ofNorth Macedonia.[3]
Since 2002, the Macedonian political bloc has become more fragmented as small parties have emerged, such as the centre-right oriented VMRO-NP (VMRO People's Party) as a fraction of VMRO-DPMNE (founded by the former leader of VMRO-DPMNE) and the centre-left NSDP (New Social-Democratic Party) as an offshoot of SDSM.
