People's Front for Unity and Peace explained

The People's Front for Unity and Peace (French: Front populaire de l'unité et la paix, FPUP) was a political party in Cameroon.

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]
