The New Power Party (NPP) is a political party in Taiwan formed in early 2015. The party emerged from the Sunflower Student Movement in 2014,and advocates for universal human rights,civil and political liberties,as well as Taiwan independence/nationalism. The party is a part of the political phenomenon known as the "Third Force" (第三勢力),in which new political parties,unaligned with traditional Pan-Green or Pan-Blue Coalitions,sought to provide an alternative in Taiwanese politics. Nevertheless,the NPP's policies are very much aligned with and closely match the Pan-Green camp;thus the NPP cooperated with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) against the Kuomintang (KMT) in the 2016 elections,going as far as not to run in traditional KMT strongholds to avoid competition with the DPP. The party works in tandem with a perceived generational shift towards Taiwan-centrism as the new socio-cultural norm.
