The National United Party of Afghanistan (
History
The party was formed on 21 August 2003 by a group of former People's Democratic Party of Afghanistan (PDPA) members.[4] The party was registered on 21 August 2003.[5] The party aims to unite all the former members of the PDPA.[6]
The party was founded by General Nur ul-Haq Ulumi, a former member of the Central Committee of the PDPA's Parcham faction,[4] and is a member of the National Coalition of Afghanistan led by Abdullah Abdullah.[1][2]
Ulumi, the party's leader, was elected as an MP for Kandahar Province in 2005, with 13,035 out of a total of 178,269 votes. The only candidate to receive a higher number of votes was Qayum Karzai, the elder brother of President Hamid Karzai, who received 14,243 votes. In 2010 Ulumi failed to be re-elected, failing to receive even 3,000 out of a total of 85,385 votes, amid accusations of electoral fraud and vote rigging.[7]
