National Union of Popular Forces

The National Union of Popular Forces (Arabic: الاتحاد الوطني للقوات الشعبية‎; French: Union Nationale des Forces Populaires, UNFP) was founded in 1959 in Morocco by Mehdi Ben Barka and his entourage, because they found that the Istiqlal Party was not radical enough. A small group led by Abdallah Ibrahim maintained the UNFP denomination until his death in 2005; it boycotted all elections since 1972.
