The National Union for Solidarity and Progress (French: Union Nationale pour la Solidarité et le Progrès, UNSP) was a political party in Benin led by Eustache Sarré.

## History

[edit]

The UNSP contested the 1991 parliamentary elections in an alliance with the Social Democratic Party.[1] The alliance received 10% of the vote and won 8 of the 64 seats in the National Assembly. Most of the MPs joined Renewal alliance in 1993.[2]

Prior to the 1995 elections the party formed the "New Generation" alliance with the Forum for Democracy, Development and Morality. The two parties received 3% of the vote, winning two seats. The seats were taken by Souléman Zoumarou and Mamoudou Zoumarou.[3]

It was part of the Star Alliance for the 1999 elections. The Alliance received 4% of the vote and won four seats.[4] The party nominated Wallis Zoumarou as its candidate for the 2001 presidential elections. Zoumarou finished ninth in a field of 17 candidates.
