The United Party was a political party in Zambia.

History

The party was established in mid-1966 by two Lozi-speaking MPs, one from the United National Independence Party ( Dickson Chikulo) and one from the Zambian African National Congress ( Mufaya Mumbuna). ^[1] It was originally named the United Front before becoming the United Party. ^[2] The founders were later joined by other prominent political figures, including former minister Nalumino Mundia, who became its president. The defections resulted in by-elections being called, with only Chikulo standing for re-election (and losing). ^[3]

The party grew rapidly, but was banned in August 1968 after the government blamed it for violence. ^[4] It subsequently merged into the ZANC. ^[5]
