National Union for Democratic Progress

The National Union for Democratic Progress (NUDP) was a political party in Liberia.

History
The NUDP was certified by the National Elections Commission (NEC) in September 2010. It was founded by Prince Yormie Johnson, Senator for Nimba County and former head of the rebel Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia, to contest the 2011 presidential and legislative elections. 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. Johnson endorsed incumbent president and Unity Party nominee Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in the second round.

In the 2011 legislative elections, NUDP candidate Thomas Semandahn Grupee won the Nimba County seat in the Senate. This resulted in the NUDP having two members in the Senate in total. NUDP candidates won six seats in the House of Representatives. Each seat was in Nimba County. The following won the electoral districts numbers 1 through 6 respectively: Jeremiah Kpan Koung, Prince O. S. Tokpah, Samuel G. Z. Woleh, Garrison Yealue Jr., Samuel Gongben Kogar, and Ricks Yeah Toweh.

Ahead of the 2014 Senate election, Johnson was expelled from the NUDP. Johnson won re-election to the Senate as an independent. By November 2015, the NEC delisted the NUDP as a registered political party. In May 2016, the Movement for Democracy and Reconstruction was certified by the NEC. This was a new party founded by Senator Johnson.
