United Rhodesia Party
 |
The name United Rhodesia Party and the acronym, URP, refers to a political party in Southern Rhodesia.
At first the party was led by Sir Godfrey Huggins, and which in 1933 came to power in the colony. It was informally known as the United Party.
But then later it was led by former UFP premier of Southern Rhodesia, Sir Garfield Todd, during the time in which Southern Rhodesia was one of three territories within the Central African Federation (CAF). This revived URP, which stood to the left of the more centrist UFP, merged with the latter in 1958 following Todd's defeat in the Territorial elections and the victory of the UFP, led at the time by Sir Edgar Whitehead.
