 The other major party participating in the election, the National Democratic Party (NDP), was a spin-off of the League of Coloured Peoples and was largely an Afro-Guyanese middle-class organization, sprinkled with middle-class Portuguese and Indo-Guyanese.The NDP, together with the poorly organized United Farmers and Workers Party and the United National Party, was soundly defeated by the PPP.Final results gave the PPP eighteen of twenty-four seats compared with the NDP's two seats and four seats for independents.
