The Non-Partisan Solidarity Union[I] is a political party in Taiwan. It was established on 16 June 2004,[2] led by founding Chairwoman Chang Po-ya and emerged a major player in the national political scene during the 2004 Legislative Yuan election, with 26 candidates running for local constituency and aboriginal seats, and 6 others nominated for proportional representation seats.
History[]
At its founding, it was something of a big tent party in that it lacked a central ideology and fielded various candidates who ran more on their personal qualities rather than a well-articulated commonality.[3]
The party won six seats in the 6th Legislative Yuan (2005–2008), three seats in the 7th Legislative Yuan (2008–2012), two seats in the 2012 election and one in the 2016 election.

Because blue is the dominant color of the KMT flag and green the dominant color of the DPP flag, their respective party alliances are referred to as the Blue and Green Camps. The pro-Blue Non Partisan Solidarity Union won two district and one aborigine seat, and the People First Party won one aborigine seat; one seat went to an independent.
