The Union Solidarity and Development Party ( USDP , Burmese ပြည်ထောင်စုကြံ့ခိုင်ရေး နှင့် ဖွံ့ဖြိုးရေးပါတီ ) is a political party in the Myanmar Union . After the 2010 elections, with the official end of the military regime in 2011, it became a ruling party until it was replaced as the strongest force in parliament on April 1, 2016 by the National League for Democracy . The USDP is the successor to the state-owned Myanmar mass organization " Union Solidarity and Development Association" .

The Solidarity and Development Party, which was registered as a political party by the electoral commission on June 2, 2010, was headed by the former military officer Thein Sein . In the run-up to the 2010 general election , the first in 20 years, the USDP recruited members by distributing low-interest loans in central Myanmar and Rakhine State . In the election, which was boycotted by the opposition, she won 883 seats out of a total of 1154 total seats, 259 of the 325 seats in the Amyotha Hluttaw , and 129 of the 168 seats in the Pyithu Hluttaw .

After the 2010 elections, Thin Sein was elected President of the Myanmar Union by parliament. According to the constitution, the president is denied a party office, but he only resigned the chairmanship in May 2013 and passed it on to parliamentary president Thura Shwe Mann until he was removed from this office on August 13, 2015.

After the vastly lost elections in 2015, in which the National League for Democracy and Aung San Suu Kyi competed this time, and the peaceful end of the presidency of Thein Sein on March 30, 2016, Thein Sein took over the chairmanship of the USDP again. The party's headquarters are in the Dekkhinathiri Township of Naypyidaw .
