The Union for Democracy and the Republic (Union pour la Démocratie et la République-Mwinda) is a political party in the Republic of the Congo. André Milongo, who was the country's transitional Prime Minister from 1991 to 1992, was the President of the UDR-Mwinda until his death in July 2007.[1]
In the 1993 parliamentary election, the UDR-Mwinda won two seats in the National Assembly,[2] including one for Milongo, who was elected President of the National Assembly.[3] In the parliamentary election held on 26 May and 23 June 2002, the party won 6 out of 137 seats in the National Assembly. In the parliamentary election held on June 24 and August 5, 2007, the UDR-Mwinda won one seat out of 137; it is, along with the Pan-African Union for Social Democracy (UPADS), one of two opposition parties represented in the National Assembly.[4]
