Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino


The Koalisyon ng Nagkakaisang Pilipino or United Opposition or KNP, was the political multi-party electoral alliance of the dominant opposition in the Philippines during the 2004 general elections. The KNP was composed of the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino or LDP, the Partido Demokratiko Pilipino-Lakas ng Bayan or PDP-Laban, and the Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino of deposed president Joseph Estrada, a former movie star.
The leading party of this coalition is the Angara wing of the Laban ng Demokratikong Pilipino or LDP. The LDP split in late 2003 over issues on who is to be their standard bearer. Most of the party followed the lead of the president, Sen. Edgardo Angara especially with the support of the former president Joseph Estrada and former first lady Imelda Marcos. The other major party under this coalition is Estrada's Pwersa ng Masang Pilipino.
The KNP chose Fernando Poe Jr. as their candidate for president and Sen. Loren Legarda for vice-president in the 2004 Philippines elections.
After the 2004 elections, the KNP was replaced by the Genuine Opposition as the main opposition coalition.
