The United Democratic Party is an unregistered political party in Kazakhstan.
History
[edit]It was founded on 25 December 2001 with the 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.
Its Congress was held in January 2002. It did not participate in the 2004 Kazakh legislative election due to lack of funds.[1]
Program
[edit]The UDP advocated for a unicameral parliamentary republic, elections at local level, and snap elections for president and the parliament.[2]
