History
The party was established in 1977 as the Voltaic Progressive Union (Union Progressiste Voltaïque, UPV) by dissidents from several parties.[1] The UPV received 16% of the vote in the April 1978 parliamentary elections, winning nine seats.[2][1] It nominated Joseph Ki-Zerbo as its candidate in the presidential elections in May. Ki-Zerbo finished fourth in the four-man field with 16% of the vote.
In 1979 the party was renamed the Voltaic Progressive Front. It was banned in November 1980.[1]
