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 (Cyprus)|Patriotic Front]].<ref>[http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/CYPRUS_1970_E.PDF Cyprus] IPU</ref><ref name=CS>[http://countrystudies.us/cyprus/64.htm Political parties] [[Library of Congress Country Studies]]</ref>

In the [[1970 Cypriot legislative election|1970 parliamentary elections]] the party emerged as the largest in the [[House of Representatives (Cyprus)|House of Representatives]] with 15 seats, despite finishing second in the vote tally.<ref>[[Dieter Nohlen]] & Philip Stöver (2010) ''Elections in Europe: A data handbook'', pp441–444 {{ISBN|978-3-8329-5609-7}}</ref>

The party did not contest any further elections,<ref>Nohlen & Stöver, p440</ref> with Clerides going onto establish the pro-Western [[Democratic Rally]] prior to the [[1976 Cypriot legislative election|1976 elections]] and [[Spyros Kyprianou]] going onto establish the more pro-[[Makarios III|Makarios]], moderate nationalist [[DIKO|Democratic Party]].<ref>[http://www.ipu.org/parline-e/reports/arc/CYPRUS_1976_E.PDF Cyprus] IPU</ref>
