The Nigerien Progressive Union (French: Union progressiste nigérienne, UPN) was a political party in Niger led by Georges Condat.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The party was founded on March 15, 1953, as a breakaway from the Union of Nigerien Independents and Sympathisers (UNIS) over the issue of forming a united front with the Nigerien Progressive Party.[2][3][4]
A joint list of UPN and the Nigerien Action Bloc (BNA) of Issoufou Saïdou Djermakoye received some 126,000 votes in the January 1956 French parliamentary elections.[2][5] The list was the most voted-for, finishing in first place in seven provinces, and Condat won one of the two seats in the French National Assembly.[5] The UPN later merged into BNA.[2][5]
