History
The MUD was established on 6 June 1990 by Filinto Vaz Martins, a former member of the ruling PAIGC, and was the second party established after multi-party democracy was introduced.[1] It joined the Union for Change alliance, which won six seats in the 1994 general elections, although MUD did not receive any of the seats.[2]
The Union for Change was reduced to three seats in the 1999–2000 general elections, and lost them all in the 2004 parliamentary elections, after which the MUD became inactive.[2]

gollark: Are you just suggesting... running multiple potatOSes... or what?
gollark: Yes, indeed, and you can.
gollark: Huh?
