The United National Pa-O Organisation (UNPO) was a political party in Burma.

History

Representing the Pa'O people of Shan State, the UNPO won three seats in the 1951–52 general elections.[1] It was reduced to one seat in the 1956 general elections, but returned to its previous strength of three seats following the 1960 elections in which it received around 50,000 votes.[1]
