Confederate Party

The Confederate Party was a political party in the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland.

The party was formed in 1953 as a successor to the Democratic Party by opponents of the federation,

In the 1953 federal elections the party contested seats in all three territories, but only won a single seat in Southern Rhodesia, J.R. Dendy Young in Sebakwe. In the Southern Rhodesian general elections in January 1964 it failed to win a seat, but in the February 1954 general elections in Northern Rhodesia, supporters of the party (John Gaunt and Frank Derby) won two of the twelve seats running as independents.

The party disintegrated after its defeat in the federal elections, and was succeeded by the Dominion Party, established in 1956. However, a rump of the party continued in existence and contested one seat in the 1958 federal elections.
