General Liberation and Development Party

The General Liberation and Development Party (Algemene Bevrijdings- en Ontwikkelingspartij, ABOP) is a political party in Suriname, founded and chaired by ex-rebel leader and convict Ronnie Brunswijk. At the 2010 legislative election, the party was a component in "A-Combination", a political alliance that won 4.7% of the popular vote and seven out of 51 seats in the National Assembly. Of these seven seats, three went to the ABOP. The current Vice President of Suriname, Robert Ameerali, is member of the ABOP.
