History
The alliance was formed by the Cameroonian National Action Movement and the Socialist Party of Cameroon.[1] The alliance received 4.5% of the vote in the April 1960 parliamentary elections, winning seven seats.[2]
The alliance joined Ahmadou Ahidjo's Cameroonian Union-led government in May 1960, with GPC members Charles Assalé and Charles Okala becoming Prime Minister and Foreign Minister.[1] The alliance merged into the UC the following year.[1]
