Liberator Party

The Liberator Party was a political party in Guyana. It contested the 1973 general election in an alliance with the United Force,[1] receiving 2.8% of the vote and won two seats.[2] However, the Liberator Party decided to boycott the National Assembly in protest at fraud in the elections and both seats were taken by the United Force. The party did not contest any further elections,[3] and later merged with the Working People's Vanguard Party to form the Vanguard for Liberation and Democracy.[4][5]
