National Party of Cadasa

The National Party of Cadasa (PNC) or the Cadasan National Party is a major centre-right, Cadasan nationalist political party in Cadasa. It is the oldest continusly active party in Cadasa since the Labour Party merged to form the PRC-PK in 2016. The PNC was founded on July 7, 1951 after the United Action Party and the Parti Kamajuan merged. Originally, it was positioned on the centre-left, but moved to the right after the 1953 elections. From 1957 to 1989, it was the sole legal party, led by Aarush Chiu. The PNC became very corrupt in the late years of its authoritarian rule. The 1989 Bank of Cadasa scandal led to nationwide protests. Starting in the 1992 elections, the PNC moved to the centre-right. In 2020, the PNC formed a coalition with other right-wing parties called the Cadasa Nationalist Front.

The PNC is most popular among middle and older-aged people. Approximately 60-70% of its members are over 50.
