History

The party was founded in May 1991,[1] and officially registered on 16 May.[2] It won three seats in the 1992 parliamentary elections.[3]

The UFDP boycotted the July 1997 parliamentary elections after the April elections had been annulled.[4] It contested the 2002 parliamentary elections as part of the Convergence for Alternation and Change alliance, which won ten seats.[4]

The party did not run in the 2013 parliamentary elections.[5]

gollark: I've heard it said that it works more to teach conformity, or make people happier with low level abuse.
gollark: "What, you can just *look up* that information in ten seconds? Nope! Not allowed! Let us never speak of such things."
gollark: Or forcing people to memorize useless information they will never need so that they can remember it for long enough to write down the right bits in an exam so that someone can say that they Know™ this subject... oh wait.
