The People's Progress Party/Parti progressiste populaire is the ruling political party in Vanuatu.

At the 6 July 2004 legislative elections, the party won 3 out of 52 seats. The following election saw its seat count increased to 4. Its leader, Sato Kilman served as Deputy Prime Minister and foreign minister of Vanuatu from December 2004 to July 2007. He had made the party an important member of the National United Party-led coalition of Prime Minister Ham Lini but in July 2007, apparently due to corruption charges put against Kilman's secretary[citation needed], Lini expelled the People's Progress Party from the cabinet.

Now Sato Kilman is the Prime Minister.
