The '''Nawijn Group''' ({{langx|nl|Groep Nawijn}}) is a [[Politics of the Netherlands|Dutch]] [[right-wing]] [[Pim Fortuyn|Fortuynist]] [[political faction]] founded by [[Hilbrand Nawijn]], a member of the Dutch [[House of Representatives of the Netherlands|House of Representatives]]. It was founded in June 2005 when Nawijn split from his previous party [[Pim Fortuyn List]] (LPF). It remained a one-man faction in the parliament until August 2006 when LPF [[House of Representatives of the Netherlands|parliamentary]] [[chairman]] [[Gerard van As]] joined Nawijn after also abandoning the LPF. Nawijn also participated in the [[Zoetermeer]] [[2006 Dutch municipal elections|2006 city council elections]] and won five seats under the name ''Lijst Hilbrand Nawijn'', but like [[Leefbaar Rotterdam]] and the [[Pim Fortuyn List]] both led by Pim Fortuyn in the 2002 elections, these are separate entities. In August 2006 Nawijn announced that he planned to participate in the [[2006 Dutch general election]]s under the banner of the [[Party for the Netherlands]] (''Partij voor Nederland'').
