Resistance of Guinea-Bissau-Bafatá Movement

The Resistance of Guinea-Bissau-Bafatá Movement (Portuguese: Resistência da Guiné-Bissau-Movimento Bafatá, RGB-MB) is a political party in Guinea-Bissau.

The party was established as the Bafatá Movement in Portugal on 27 July 1986 by Domingos Fernandes Gomes after his childhood friend Viriato Rodrigues Pa was executed along with five others accused of attempting to overthrow the regime of João Bernardo Vieira.

[1] With the organisation gaining support from the large population of expatriate Guineans in Portugal, the PAIGC government started attempts to assassinate the RGB leadership.

When multi-party politics was introduced in the early 1990s, the 1994 general elections saw the RGB become the largest opposition party to the PAIGC in the National People's Assembly, winning 19 of the 100 seats.

[3] The party returned to active politics when it contested the 2014 parliamentary elections, but it received only 1.6% of the vote and failed to win a seat.
