The United Federal Party (UFP) previously known as the United Party (1934–53) and the United Rhodesia Party (1953–58) was one of Southern Rhodesia’s most successful political parties and governed the country (known since 1980 as Zimbabwe) for over 30 years. The party was formed as the United Party (UP) in 1934 under the leadership of Godfrey Huggins when the ruling Reform Party merged with the Rhodesia Party (formed by Charles Coghlan in 1923).
