The United People's Party is a Singapore party formed by the former People's Action Party (PAP) leader Ong Eng Guan in 1961. After it won a seat (won by Ong Eng Guan), in the 1963 General Elections, the party's existence was in doubt as Singapore was knocked out of the Malaysian federation by Malaysia. By the 1968 elections, the party had dissolved.
