Union National Democracy Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Union National Democracy Party (UNDP) was a political party in Myanmar from 1988 to 1992.

History

[edit]

The UNDP was formed on 16 December 1988 by Aung Gyi after he left the National League for Democracy, of which he had previously been the chairman.[1] The party contested 247 of the 485 seats in the 1990 general elections,[2] but received only 1.5% of the vote, the sixth-highest vote share, winning one seat – U Aung Thein in Ywangan.[3]

The party was banned by the military government on 18 March 1992.[3]
