The Muslim Bosniak Organisation (; abbr. MBO) was a mainly liberal political party in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It was founded by former Party of Democratic Action members Adil Zulfikarpašić and Muhamed Filipović.

History

The Muslim Bosniak Organisation (MBO) was founded in 1990 by Adil Zulfikarpašić and Muhamed Filipović. The party was established shortly after Zulfikarpašić's and Filipović's political disagreements with Alija Izetbegović, the founder of the Party of Democratic Action. The MBO advocated the affirmation of the national name Bosniak instead of Muslim, liberalism, secularism and anti-nationalism.

The party first contested the 1990 general elections, receiving 1.15% of the national vote and winning two seats. In the 1996 general election it joined the Joint List alliance alongside the Social Democratic Party, the Union of Social Democrats, the Croatian Peasant Party and the Republican Party. Candidates for the Bosniak and Croat members of the Presidency, Sead Avdić and Ivo Komšić, were not elected. In the election for the national House of Representatives, the Joint List received 5.68% of the vote and won two of the 42 seats.
