Democratic Union of the Algerian Manifesto (in French: Union Démocratique du Manifeste Algérien) was an assimilationist political party in colonial Algeria founded in 1946. UDMA was led by Ferhat Abbas. UDMA won the elections to the Constituent Assembly in June 1946, largely due to non-participation of several other parties.
