Unity and Progress Party
The Unity and Progress Party (Template:Lang-fr, PUP) is a political party in Guinea. In the parliamentary election held on 30 June, 2002, the party won 61.57 % of the popular vote and 85 out of 114 seats. Its candidate in the 21 December, 2003 presidential election, Lansana Conté, won 95.25% of the vote; this election was, however, generally boycotted by the opposition.[1]
Following Conté's death on December 22, 2008, his replacement Aboubacar Somparé has served as the de jure acting president of Guinea. However, since the coup d'état in the hours following the death of Conté, Guinea has been in the hands of the national military.
