The Wakara People's Party (Wakara: Wakara Nitaino Areyto, WPP) is a New Alexandrian regional political party in the Region of Boriquén. The party is considered left-wing, and advocates for Wakara rights, keeping the Plan of Hato Rey, and the integration of Boriquén and the Wakara people into New Alexandrian society. Its main ideology, created and advanced by its founders and former co-leaders Mayani Guacanagari and Beatriz Daguao, is known as Guaitiao progressivism.
Formed in 1722 AN after the admission of Boriquén as Region of Nouvelle Alexandrie, the WPP first competed in the 1723 general elections, winning 34 seats in the Federal Assembly and taking control of the regional government of Boriquén in local elections. In 1728 AN, it became the fourth largest party in the Federal Assembly and provided confidence and supply to the Federal Humanist Party minority government. The WPP operates only out of the Region of Boriquén. The WPP was a founding member of the federal leftist alliance the Alliance for a Just Nouvelle Alexandrie (AJNA) in 1733 AN, which became the Official Opposition in 1739 AN. It left the alliance when the AJNA dissolved after the 1744 general election, rejoined the reconstituted alliance under the Parap Principles in 1747 AN, and has remained a member since; after the merger of United for Alvelo into the Democratic Socialist Party in 1753 AN, the WPP became one of the alliance's two constituent parties.
In late 1743 AN, founding co-leaders Mayani Guacanagari and Beatriz Daguao announced their retirement from party leadership after more than two decades guiding the party. Following their announcement, the WPP held an internal party congress in III.1744 AN where Gueyacán Vázquez was elected as the new party leader, marking a significant transition in the party's leadership structure from the dual co-leadership model to a single leader approach. Vázquez led the party for more than a decade before announcing his retirement in XII.1754 AN. At the leadership contest held on 5.III.1755 AN, the Boriquén deputy Yuiza Bohi'o was elected party leader, defeating acting chair Mayani Guacanagari and becoming the first woman to lead the WPP outright. On 8.I.1755 AN three WPP deputies broke for the crossbench, reducing the party to twenty seats. As of 1758 AN the WPP sits in opposition as one of the two parties of the Alliance for a Just Nouvelle Alexandrie, the Official Opposition led by Marcos Ferreira Gonçalves of the DSP.
