The United Party ({{langx|el|Ενιαίον Κόμμα}}), known in Greek simply as Eniaion ("United"), was a short-lived moderate right-wing political party in Cyprus.
History
The party was established by Glafcos Clerides in February 1969 as a split from the Patriotic Front.[http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/CYPRUS_1970_E.PDF Cyprus] IPU[http://countrystudies.us/cyprus/64.htm Political parties] Library of Congress Country Studies
In the 1970 parliamentary elections the party emerged as the largest in the House of Representatives with 15 seats, despite finishing second in the vote tally.Dieter Nohlen & Philip Stöver (2010) Elections in Europe: A data handbook, pp441–444 {{ISBN|978-3-8329-5609-7}}
The party did not contest any further elections,Nohlen & Stöver, p440 with Clerides going onto establish the pro-Western Democratic Rally prior to the 1976 elections and Spyros Kyprianou going onto establish the more pro-Makarios, moderate nationalist Democratic Party.[http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/CYPRUS_1976_E.PDF Cyprus] IPU
