The Revolutionary Party of Democratic Unification (Spanish: Partido Revolucionario de Unificación Democrática) was the ruling party in El Salvador during the 1950s and early 1960s.
[1] In the 1950 general elections, its candidate Óscar Osorio won the presidential elections, whilst the party won 38 of the 52 seats in the Constitutional Assembly.
In the 1956 presidential elections several opposition candidates were barred from standing by the Central Elections Council,[2] allowing its candidate, José María Lemus, to win with over 95% of the vote.
In the legislative elections that year it again won all 54 seats, despite facing opposition from the National Action Party.
