The
New Power Party (
NPP; ) is a political party in
Taiwan formed in early 2015. The party emerged from the
Sunflower Student Movement in 2014 and
advocates for
universal human rights,
civil and
political liberties, as well as
Taiwan independence. The party is a part of the political phenomenon known as the "Third Force" (第三勢力), in which new political parties, unaligned with traditional
Pan-Green or
Pan-Blue Coalitions, sought to provide an alternative in Taiwanese politics. Nevertheless, the NPP's policies are very much aligned and closely matches the Pan-Green camp; thus the NPP cooperated with the
DPP against the
KMT in the 2016 elections, going as far as to run in traditional KMT strongholds to avoid competition with the DPP.
