The United Party ( Greek: Ενιαίον Κόμμα), known in Greek simply as Eniaion ("United"), was a short-lived moderate right-wing political party in Cyprus.

History

The party was established by Glafcos Clerides in February 1969 as a split from the Patriotic Front. [1] [2]

In the 1970 parliamentary elections the party emerged as the largest in the House of Representatives with 15 seats, despite finishing second in the vote tally. [3]

The party did not contest any further elections, [4] with Clerides going onto establish the pro-Western Democratic Rally prior to the 1976 elections and Spyros Kyprianou going onto establish the more pro- Makarios, moderate nationalist Democratic Party. [5]
