The Solomon Islands United National Party (SUN or SIUNP) was a political party in the Solomon Islands.
History
Following the 1967 elections, the party was established in 1968 by David Kausimae, Bill Ramsay and Frank Wickham.[1][2] It was no more than a group of members of the Legislative Council and was primarily formed with the aim of lobbying the British authorities to introduce a cabinet system.[3]
Although it issued a manifesto in 1972, it ceased to exist later that year and did not contest the 1973 general elections. Kausimae went on to found the Rural Alliance Party.[4][5]
