The United St. Maarten Party (US Party) is a political party in Sint Maarten founded in 2013 by the former National Alliance deputy leader Frans Richardson.[3] The party currently[when?] holds one seat in the parliament of Sint Maarten. In the 2014 general elections, the party obtained two seats, but its then MP-elect Leona Marlin-Romeo left the US Party and became an independent member of parliament.[4]
In the 2020 elections, it again won two seats.[5]
