Founding
The party was registered as an incorporated society on 24 January 1995 as "The Confederation of United Tribes of New Zealand Incorporated" but changed its name on 8 February 1995 to the New Zealand Republican Party. It was led by William Powell.
1996 election
Although the party was registered in time for the 1996 election, it was late in submitting its party list. The party challenged its exclusion as a result of failing to submit a list at the High Court of New Zealand, and attempted to have the 1996 elections postponed to allow this. Their application for an injunction was rejected however.
1999 election
In the 1999 election, the party submitted a list, but won only 0.01% (292 votes in total)[1] of the vote, the lowest of all registered parties. The party was officially de-registered on 24 June 2002,[2] just before the 2002 election.
