In 1977, the coalition broke up and the National Republican Party of Suriname went to the polls on its own, without having received a seat in parliament. On February 25, 1980, a military coup was carried out in Suriname. It was organized by senior sergeant Desi Bauters , with the help of another 15 sergeants. Bauters began to rule Suriname as the head of the National Military Council he created (having appropriated the military rank of lieutenant colonel - the highest in the Surinamese army). He dissolved the parliament, abolished the constitution, introduced a state of emergency in the country and created a special tribunal that examined the cases of members of the former government and large businessmen. Members of the National Republican Party of Suriname were members of the National Military Council. Hendrick Rudolph Chan A Sen even served as president from August 15, 1980 to February 4, 1982 [2] . After the restoration of democracy in 1987, the party was not restored. The Labor Party of Suriname is considered the successor to the National Republican Party of Suriname.
