United Citizens Party of South Carolina Nominates Cornel West for President

On February 24, the United Citizens Party of South Carolina announced that it has nominated Cornel West for President. The party is South Carolina’s oldest third party. It has been ballot-qualified starting in 1970. It was formed to promote the interests of African-Americans.

South Carolina permits parties to change their names. The United Citizens Party had changed its name to the New Alliance Party in the past, but then had changed its name back to the original name. Thanks to Bradley Fox for this news.

  1. I believe the Forward Party/Independence Party/Patriot Party was once the New Alliance Party. The Greens did run on the UCP line for a few cycles, but then subsequently took over the Natural Law line, which they then renamed. I’m willing to be corrected on this.
