The Modern People Party previously known as the New Era People’s Party (NEPP), also known sometimes as the New Age People's Party, is one of three parties born out of the Troksyite Red Flag communist party, a branch of the Burma Communist Party (BCP). It was initially formed in the late 1980’s and contested inthe 1990 election as the Unity and Progressive Party in 10 different regions. The party had over 200,000 party supporters from Irrawaddy Division, Rangoon, Mandalay, Sagaing Division but was dissolved by the government on 1992.
Rangoon-based scientific political economics students. They will cooperate with the military government for a genuine democracy based on the market-oriented economic system, in keeping with one of the junta’s mottos, “to build a modern developed disciplined democratic nation with the participation of political parties”.
Though there’s a rumour circulating in Rangoon that the political economics students group will join hands with the Union Solidarity and Development Association (USDA), the members of the students group have denied it. But, a member of the USDA (Rangoon Division) said that they are cooperating with Brig-Gen Mayor Aung Thein Lin to provide non-profit health services for people.
The Modern People Party has seven central executive committee members, and 15 central committee members. The general secretary is Tun Aung Kyaw and the joint secretary is Tin Soe.
