history

The National Union of Independents was founded by Amadou Ali Djibo on May 17, 1999 with a view to the upcoming 1999 presidential elections . Djibo was originally a party member of the National Development Society Movement (MNSD-Nassara), from which he resigned in the early 1990s. He had since helped found several small parties. In the 1999 presidential election, Djibo was the last of seven candidates. He received 1.73% of the vote. In the runoff election, UNI supported Mahamadou Issoufou from the Nigerien Party for Democracy and Socialism (PNDS-Tarayya), who was defeated by the MNSD Nassara candidate Mamadou Tandja . In an electoral alliance with the PNDS-Tarayya, UNI succeeded in gaining a mandate in the parliamentary elections of 2004 and for the first time in the National Assembly . In the parliamentary elections of 2009 , which were boycotted by the major opposition parties after President Mamadou Tandja's authoritarian change of course, as in the free parliamentary elections of 2011 , the National Union of Independents defended its seat in the National Assembly. The party supported the MNSD Nassara candidate Seini Oumarou in the 2011 presidential elections , but Mahamadou Issoufou of the PNDS Tarayya had to admit defeat. In the 2016 parliamentary elections , UNI failed to get back into the National Assembly.
