The National Unity Party (Portuguese : Partido da Unidade Nacional, PUN) was a political party in Guinea-Bissau.
The party was established by Idrissa Djaló on 26 July 2001. [1] In the 2004 parliamentary elections the party received 1.46% of the vote and failed to win a seat. [1] In the 2005 presidential election Djaló finished eighth with 0.8% of the vote.
The party boycotted the 2008 parliamentary elections, with Djaló claiming that "the ballot will not resolve any of the persistent great problems in the country". [2] It did not contest presidential elections in 2009 or 2012, but supported the 2012 military coup. [2]

Executive power is exercised by the government. Legislative power is vested in both the government and the National People's Assembly.
