The Party for National Rebirth (French Parti pour la renaissance nationale, PARENA) is a Malian political party, created in 1995 by activists from the National Congress for Democratic Initiative (CNID). The Party for National Rebirth is headed by Tiébilé Dramé, who ran for the presidency in 2002, gaining 4% of the votes, coming in fourth place.[http://africanelections.tripod.com/ml.html Elections in Mali], African Elections Database. In February 2007, he was again nominated as the party's presidential candidate for the April 2007 presidential election,[http://apanews.net/article_eng.php3?id_article=21487 "Former Malian student leader poised to contest April presidential elections"]{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}, African Press Agency, February 19, 2007. receiving third place and 3.04% of the vote.[http://www.jeuneafrique.com/fluxafp/fil_info.asp?art_cle=36776 "Présidentielle au Mali: la Cour constitutionnelle valide la réélection de Touré"], Agence France-Presse, May 12, 2007 {{in lang|fr}}.
