The Polish Union (Polish: Zjednoczenie Polskie, ZP), also known as the Regional Agreement RdR (Polish: Porozumienie Regionalne RdR, PR-RdR) in 1993, was a Christian-democratic centre-right political party in Poland. The party was founded by defectors from Polish Christian-democratic party Movement for the Republic, who left the party over the dispute regarding forming a possible coalition with Centre Agreement, the party that Movement for the Republic was itself a split from. Shortly after being formed, the Polish Union announced an electoral union with the Centre Agreement in June 1993, known as Centre Agreement – Polish Union.[4]
In the 1993 Polish parliamentary election, Centre Agreement - Polish Union won 609,973 votes which amounted to 4.42%, falling short of reaching the 5% electoral threshold needed in order to gain seats in the Sejm. However, the party did win a single seat in the Senate. After the defeat in the 1993 election, the party left Centre Agreement - Polish Union and re-registered itself as a separate party. The Polish Union then became one of the founding members of the Solidarity Electoral Action (AWS), and 7 of the party members gained seats in the 1997 Polish parliamentary election as part of the AWS. The party then dissolved in 1997 to join the Social Movement.[5]
