Sudanese Union – African Democratic Rally
The Sudanese Union – African Democratic Rally (US-RDA) (french: Union Soudanaise-Rassemblement Démocratique Africain) was a political party in Mali. History The party was formed in 1945 by Mamadou Konaté and Modibo Keita under the name Sudanese Bloc (''Bloc Soudanais''). The following year, they affiliated themselves with the African Democratic Rally (RDA), the interterritorial coalition of anti-colonial political parties active in French West Africa. The 1957 elections saw the US-RDA win 57 of the 70 seats. Shortly after the elections, the Union of the Populations of Bandiagara merged into the US-RDA, giving it a total of 64 seats. When Konaté died in 1958, Keita gained full control of the party. The 1959 elections saw the US-RDA win all 80 seats in the Legislative Assembly, and it became the sole legal party the following year. Elections were held in 1964, but with no opposition, the party retained all 80 seats. Following a coup in 1968 by Moussa Traoré, the party wa ...
