United People's Party (Liberia)

In the elections held on 19 July 1997, the UPP presidential candidate Gabriel Baccus Matthews won 2.51% of the vote.

While international observers deemed the polls administratively free and transparent, they noted that it had taken place in an atmosphere of intimidation because most voters believed that former rebel leader and National Patriotic Party (NPP) candidate Charles Taylor would return to war if defeated.

Former senior PPP and UPP member Sekou Conneh became leader of the Liberians United for Reconciliation and Democracy (LURD) rebel group in 1999, which also included some former Doe supporters, and fought a civil war against Taylor until 2003.

Both parties campaigned as part of the National Democratic Coalition in the 2011 presidential and legislative elections.

The party joined the Coalition for Democratic Change for the 2023 general election, running joint candidates for the parliament and supporting George Weah for the presidency.
