The United People's Alliance (Portuguese: Aliança Popular Unida, APU) was a political alliance in Guinea-Bissau. It consisted of the Guinean People's Party (PPG) and the Socialist Alliance of Guinea (ASG).[1]

History

The Alliance was formed in early 2004 in order to contest the March 2004 parliamentary elections. It received 1.36% of the vote and won a single seat, taken by Fernando Gomes of the ASG.[1]

The Alliance was dissolved by the end of 2004, and Gomes joined the African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde.[1]
