The Workers' Party or Labour Party (, RP) is minor Montenegrin political party which is part of the right-wing Democratic Front.

History

The party was established on 3 March 2015 by Janko Vučinić, former union leader. Since its foundation until 2019, RP was a constituent member of the opposition populist Democratic Front (DF) alliance. In March 2019, the Workers' Party left the coalition with Democratic Front. On 1 May 2019, the Workers' Party decided to sign an agreement with Socialist People's Party (SNP), United Montenegro (UCG) and Independent parliamentary group to form a big tent political alliance under the name For the Benefit of All. Party leader Vučinić died on October 25, 2019. On November 7, the party announced that party vice-president Željka Savković would replace Vučinić as new party member of Parliament of Montenegro. On December 9, the Workers' Party elected Vučinić's son Maksim Vučinić, an electrical engineer, for the new Party president. DSI eventually dissolved prior the parliamentary election in August 2020.
