The National Progressive Party was a political party in
Zambia led by
John Roberts.[1]
History
The party was established in April 1963 as a Northern Rhodesian successor to the
United Federal Party.[2] It won all 10 seats reserved for Europeans in the
1964 general elections. However, with the reserved seats due to be abolished before the
1968 elections, the party dissolved itself in August 1966,[3] with its MPs sitting as independents until the end of the terms.[4]
