The Progressive National Party (Dutch: Progressieve Nationale Partij, PNP) was a political party in Suriname.
The party was founded in January 1967 by Just Rens, a former member of the parliament and Minister of Construction on behalf of the National Party of Suriname, who was fired after a conflict with the party.[1][2][3]
In the 1967 Surinamese general election, PNP won three seats in the parliament.[4] Besides Rens, Jules Sedney and Aksel Quintus Bosz were elected.[5] Two and a half years later, the party participated in the early elections as part of the PNP bloc. In addition to the PNP, this partnership consisted of KTPI, PSV and PBP.[6] The PNP bloc won eight seats.[7] PNP formed a coalition with the VHP bloc, in which PNP member Jules Sedney became Prime Minister.[8]
The 1973 elections were mainly between the National Party Combination (NPK; consisting of NPS, PNR, PSV and KTPI) and the VHP bloc. With almost 3.2% of the votes, the PNP did not win a seat. Of the 39 seats, 22 went to the NPK and the remaining 17 went to the VHP bloc.[9] Afterwards, the PNP would not return to parliament.
