The Volunteer Political Party (VPP) emerged in September 1974 as the 'political wing of the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF)'. The chairman of the VPP, Ken Gibson, stood as a candidate for West Belfast in the October 1974 Westminster election but polled on 2,690 votes. The VPP was dissolved soon after the election. The VPP is considered the precursor of the Ulster Democratic Party (UDP).
