United Country Party (Kenya)

The United Country Party was established by Michael Blundell in July 1954.

[1][2] Its formation was primarily aimed at supporting the Lyttleton Constitution.

Although it supported multi-racialism, the party's membership was limited to Europeans, and it opposed common roll elections or opening the White Highlands to other races.

[1] In the 1956 general elections party members ran as independents, winning six seats to the eight won by the Independent Group,[3] who opposed the constitution.
