The National Party of Venda was a political party in the Bantustan Republic of Venda which was founded around 1973.[2]
In 1973 it won 5 of the 18 available seats. By 1978 it had increased its seat share to 11 our of 42 seats, before winning 41 of the 45 seats in 1984.[3]
Whilst the opposition Venda Independence People's Party (VIPP) won the majority of seats for almost every election, they effectively ran Venda as a One-Party state.[4] It was overthrown in the 1990 Venda coup d'état.[5]
