The Cook Islands United Party is a political party in the Cook Islands. The party was founded in October 2018 by former Cabinet ministers Nandi Glassie and Teariki Heather.[1][2]
Heather contested the 2019 Ivirua by-election, but was unsuccessful.[3] The party did not contest the March 2019 Tengatangi-Areora-Ngatiarua by-election, with Glassie instead standing as a Democratic party candidate.[4]
In December 2021 the party announced eleven candidates for the 2022 Cook Islands general election.[5] The party platform included a two-term limit for MPs and the introduction of import levies to promote local business.[6] Initial results showed the party winning 4 seats, with a 5th seat tied.[7] The final results gave the party three seats.[8]
