Brotherhood and Unity in Politics

Brotherhood and Unity in Politics (Dutch: Broederschap en Eenheid in de Politiek) is a political party in Suriname founded on 29 April 1973. It was originally founded as the Bush Negro Unity Party (Dutch: Bosnegers Eenheid Partij) to represent the Maroon community in interior areas of the country and was renamed in 1987. It turned its focus away from the promotion of a specific ethnicity's interests in 2009, although it still enjoys popularity among the Maroon community.
