From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Asia Pacific United Party was a New Zealand political party based around the country's Asian and Pacific Islander populations. It was formed in anticipation of the MMP electoral system, which made it easier for smaller parties to be elected. In the 1996 elections, the party won 0.02% of the vote, insufficient to gain any seats. The party, although registered, did not submit a list for the 1999 elections, and none of its electorate candidates were elected. It since merged with the United Party.
