The People's Unity Party was a political party in Papua New Guinea.
Prior to the 1997 election, it was a junior coalition partner in the government of Julius Chan. The party was "demolished" at that election, losing four of its five seats, including leader and Minister for Home Affairs , deputy leader , and MP .[1][2] Karo had defected from the People's Democratic Movement in September 1995.[3] Its sole surviving MP after the 1997 election, (Komo-Magarima), became leader.[4]
Kaiabe crossed to the United Resources Party around 1999, and the party has not received media coverage since.[5]
