About United People's Party

The United People's Party was a political party in Singapore founded by former People's Action Party (PAP) Minister Ong Eng Guan. The party was officially registered on 14 July 1961. In the 1963 general election, the UPP fielded 46 candidates to contest 51 seats in the Legislative Assembly. Despite the broad participation, the party secured only one seat, won by Ong himself in the Hong Lim seat, where he garnered 44.5 per cent of the vote, a significant decline compared to the over 70 per cent majority he had achieved in the 1959 election under the PAP and the 1961 by-election as an independent.
