[1] Republican Party of Moldova (RPM) was established on 15 August 1999.
Before the early parliamentary elections of 29 July 2009, it withdrew from the race and campaigned for the Democratic Party of Moldova.
The party's former chairman Ion Curtean and vice chairman Valerian Hortolomei remained to work as part of the party, but it is not yet known what posts they will hold.
The Central Election Commission of Moldova registered the party as a participant in the campaign for the 5 September constitutional referendum.
The party will campaign in favor of the referendum and urge the people to vote for amending Article 78 of the Constitution.
