The Republicans (Portuguese: Republicanos), formerly the Brazilian Republican Party (Portuguese: Partido Republicano Brasileiro, PRB) and originally formed as the Municipalist Renewal Party (Portuguese: Partido Municipalista Renovador, PMR), is a Brazilian political party. Its electoral number, the numerical assignment for Brazilian political parties, is 10.
The party is socially conservative and economically liberal, and has a strong association with the evangelical Universal Church of the Kingdom of God. Its party president Marcos Pereira is a bishop of the Church.
As the PRB, it was the party of former Vice President of Brazil José Alencar, where it was part of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government. While it also supported Dilma Rousseff until her impeachment, it was one of the closest allies of the Bolsonaro government, and Vice President Hamilton Mourão joined the party at the tail end of his tenure in 2022.
