In Banjul it had support mainly amongst the Wolofs, in the rural areas mainly amongst Fulas. The party was led by P. S. Njie. In 1963, the People's Progressive Party and DCA invited UP to join the government. After two years, the party left the government. Its position as an opposition party had declined, though. In 1970, the party suffered a heavy blow as its leader joined the PPP. During the 1970s and 1980s the party strongly opposed a union with Senegal. (en)
