According to the Human Rights Watch report Behind the Red Line: Political Repression in Sudan, the Democratic Unionist Party was formed when the National Unionist Party merged with the People's Democratic Party (1996, 170).  However, no references to a National Democratic Unionist Party (NDUP), Democratic Union Alliance (DUA), Sudanese Union Democratic Party (SUDP) or a Sudan National Democratic Alliance (SNDA) could be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.

This Response was prepared after researching publicly accessible information currently available to the Research Directorate within time constraints. This Response is not, and does not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular claim to refugee status or asylum.
