Unified Socialist Party (in French: Parti Socialiste Unifié) is a political party in Burkina Faso. PSU was founded in 2001, following a split from the Burkinabè Socialist Party (PSB).
The party is led by Benoît Lompo. PSU is part of the United Burkinabe Opposition (OBU) and the Socialist Alliance (together with the People's Movement for Socialism / Federal Party). However, the decision of the Socialist Alliance to support Dr. Emile Pargui Paré in the 2005 presidential elections has strained the relations between PSU and OBU.
