United Democratic Party (Kazakhstan)
The United Democratic Party is an unregistered political party in Kazakhstan. It was founded on 25 December 2001 after a merger of People's Congress of Kazakhstan, Republican People's Party of Kazakhstan, and the Azamat Democratic Party. The main reason was due to a need of a stronger, united opposition. At its Congress which was held in January 2002, the UDP advocated for a unicameral parliamentary republic, elections at local level, and snap elections for president and the parliament.[1] The party was never registered nor did it participate in the 2004 Kazakh legislative election due to lack of funds.[2]
