The Compromise Independent Smallholders' Party (Hungarian: Kiegyezés Független Kisgazdapárt; KFKGP), was an agrarianist political party in Hungary, after having its members left the Independent Smallholders, Agrarian Workers and Civic Party (FKGP).

History

The party was founded on 2 October 1993 in Debrecen by gardener Sándor Cseh, who was replaced as vice-president and expelled from FKGP on 11 June 1992, following a failed coup attempt against party leader József Torgyán. The cooperation negotiations have broken down with the pro-government faction Group of 36 MPs, who, as a result, also founded a separate party, named the United Smallholders' Party (EKGP). The KFKGP intended to unite the smallholders' group which opposed the leadership and influence of Torgyán in the agrarian politics.[1]

For the 1994 parliamentary election, the KFKGP set up two regional county lists (Hajdú-Bihar and Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg) and its seven individual candidates run in the election. The party received 0.11 percent of the votes and won no seats.[2] Following that failure, the party gradually became defunct and dissolved in 2003, after it did not participate in the 1998 and 2002 national elections.[1]
