After PUT President Sylvanus Olympio was overthrown in a 1963 coup, fresh elections were held in the same year. The UDPT and three other parties formed a joint list of candidates for the National Assembly election, with each party awarded 14 seats.[3]
However, following another coup in 1967, the party was dissolved.[2]
