History
The UNI was established in 1973 as a breakaway from the African Democratic Rally.[1] Although it was banned in 1974 following a military coup, it was revived prior to the 1978 parliamentary elections, with Kargougou having been appointed as Foreign Minister in 1977.[1]
The party received 7% of the vote in the elections, winning a single seat, which was taken by Kargougou.[2][1]

gollark: `The Frog Cannot Be Obtained` - I should name a dragon that.
gollark: I asked explicitly for shadow walker hatchlings on the hub. What do I get? Not shadow walker hatchlings.
gollark: You can do hatchling ND experiments if you're crazy, I think.
