New Labour Party (South Africa)

The New Labour Party (NLP) was a minor South African political party founded by Peter Marais through floor crossing legislation[1] after he left the New National Party under some disrepute.

The name was chosen to evoke the former Labour Party led by the Reverend Allan Hendrickse, as an anti-apartheid Coloured party.

The NLP sought to position itself as the political voice of Coloured people, particularly in the Western Cape Province, but it was unsuccessful.

[2] It did not contest the 2009 election, but supporting the formation of a new party, the Christian Democratic Alliance (CDA), along with several other parties.
