History

The UDL was established in 1989,[1] and ran in the first multi-party elections since independence in 1991, receiving just 0.1% of the vote and failing to win a seat. The 1997 elections saw the party increase its vote share to 0.5%, winning a single seat in the People's National Assembly.[2]

The party lost its seat in the 2002 elections. It supported President Abdelaziz Bouteflika in the 2004 presidential elections, before ceasing to function in 2005.[1]

gollark: Yeees, it doesn't actually seem like support to mention their existence a bit.

gollark: Okay, I'll go skim that.

gollark: It would probably help to use less awful voting systems.

gollark: Well, I'm waiting for their explanation on 1, 2 sounds like the thing I said would be bad, 3... maybe?, 4 doesn't seem like a problem, and 5 might be something dislikeable but not right wing extremism.

gollark: mautam has other reasons, I mean.
