Imanuel Iric (1908-1985) was a Kresimirian politician who served as the second leader of the Bistrice People’s Party (BPP) from 1942 to 1962. He was the brother of party founder Antonio Iric and a key figure in the Iric political family.
Political Career
Imanuel Iric continued his family’s political legacy by running for the Assembly in the 1942 election. He successfully won the seat for District IV (Severnivaraje) previously held by his brother, Antonio.
That same year, he also took over the leadership of the BPP. During his twenty-year tenure as leader, Iric worked to expand the party’s regionalist influence beyond its traditional base in Severnivaraje and into neighboring northern provinces. He served as a Senator for two full terms, being re-elected in the 1952 election.
He did not seek re-election in 1962, stepping aside to allow his nephew, Pavel Iric, to run for and win the family’s traditional Assembly seat, continuing the dynasty. He died in 1985 at the age of 77.
