History
The NUDP was certified by the
2011 presidential and legislative elections.[2] Senator Johnson served as the party's presidential candidate, with his running mate being James Laveli Supuwood. Johnson received 139,786 votes, 11.6% of the total. The NUDP came in third in the presidential election, behind the Congress for Democratic Change.[3] Johnson endorsed incumbent president and Unity Party nominee Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in the second round.[4]
In the 2011 legislative elections, NUDP candidate Thomas Semandahn Grupee won the
Jeremiah Kpan Koung, Prince O. S. Tokpah, Samuel G. Z. Woleh, Garrison Yealue Jr., Samuel Gongben Kogar, and Ricks Yeah Toweh.[5]
Ahead of the 2014 Senate election, Johnson was expelled from the NUDP.[7] Johnson won re-election to the Senate as an independent.[8] By November 2015, the NEC delisted the NUDP as a registered political party.[4] In May 2016, the Movement for Democracy and Reconstruction was certified by the NEC.[9] This was a new party founded by Senator Johnson.[10]
