The Union for Progress and Reform (Template:Lang-fr, UPC) is a political party in Burkina Faso. The party describes itself to be non-ideological.[2]

History

The UPC was established by Zépherin Diabré in 2010 after he left the ruling Congress for Democracy and Progress (CDP).[3][4]

The party finished third in the popular vote in the 2012 parliamentary elections. It won 19 of the 127 seats in the National Assembly, becoming the second-largest party after the CDP.
