| Started by a splinter group of ex-WP leaders, it was known as UF until a name change to SUF on 5 March 1982, at its 9th anniversary, to avoid confusion with UPF. In early 1988, it re-merged with WP, its original hinderland party, along with BS. Widely believed to have been dissolved, it was actually left defunct. After the GE in 1991, those who were concurrently members of both parties resigned from WP again and returned to revive it, renaming it DPP. A father-and-son pair contested the 1997 and 2001 GEs but were expelled in 2002 for breaching party orders and it did not return for any further election. |
