The New People's Liberation Movement is a political party in Montserrat, led by John Osborne. At the 2001 legislative elections, the party won 51.0% of popular votes and 7 out of 9 seats. John Osborne became Chief Minister. In the May 2006 elections, however, the party's support fell to 29.4% and the party only gained three seats.
