- United Christian Democratic Party
The United Christian Democratic Party is a political party in South Africa. It is led by former Bophuthatswana Bantustan leader Lucas Mangope. The party's mission statement stresses the need for Christian values, non-racial democracy, and government inducements for personal self-reliance, while the 2004 manifesto attacks the ANC for, among other things, its alleged softness on crime, nepotism, and neglect of South African infrastructure.

At the 2004 elections, the party won 117,792 votes (0.75% of the national total), and 3 seats in Parliament, representing neither a gain nor a loss from the preceding elections. They also won 3 seats and 8.49% of the vote in the 2004 elections to the legislature of the North West Province, their main power base. [http://www.anc.org.za/elections/2004/results/prov-nw.html]
According to a survey conducted by the Human Sciences Research Council in 2003, 85% of UCDP voters are female. [http://hsrc.ac.za/media/2003/12/20031223_7.pdf]
The UCDP is the main opposition party to the ANC in the North West – a province where, it should be noted, ANC support is extremely strong.
