History

The party was established as a Bamileke-dominated breakaway from the Union of the Peoples of Cameroon, with its leaders including former ministers Pierre Kamden Ninyim, Wandji Nkuimy, Philippe Achinguy and Victor Kanga.[1] In the 1960 elections it received 10.8% of the vote, winning 19 seats and becoming the second-largest party in the National Assembly after the Cameroonian Union (UC).[2]

In 1961 the party merged into the UC.[1]
