The Herstigte Nasionale Party (English: Reconstituted National Party) is a South African political party which was formed as a far-right splinter group of the now defunct National Party in 1969. The party name was commonly abbreviated as HNP, evoking the Herenigde Nasionale Party, although colloquially they were also known as the Herstigtes.[6] The party is, unlike other splinter factions from the National Party, still active but politically irrelevant.
