The Union of Progressive Surinamese (Dutch : Unie van Progressieve Surinamers) was a political party in Suriname. It was founded in 2003 by Henry Ori, who was the party's chairman during its whole existence. [1] [2] At the 2005 Surinamese general election, in an alliance with the Party for Democracy and Development through Unity, the party won 4.9% of the popular vote and no seats in the National Assembly [3] . During the 2010 elections, the union was one of the four parties in the People's Alliance (VolksAlliantie) before the elections) [4] , in which Paul Somohardjo's Pertjajah Luhur (PL) participated as the largest party [5] , where it again failed to secure a seat. In 2013, the party under Ori merged into the Progressive Reform Party (VHP). [2]
