Democratic Union of the Malian People (in French: Union Démocratique du Peuple Malien, UDPM) was a political party in Mali. It was founded by the CMLN military junta regime in order to provide it with political legitimacy. On September 22, 1975 Moussa Traoré announced that the party would be formed, and he served as its Secretary-General.[1]

UDPM was organized along democratic centralist lines, but was not a Marxist formation. Traoré was the party general secretary. UDPM had a Central Executive Bureau with 19 members, a National Council with 137 members.[1]

The main party organ was the daily newspaper L'Essor-La Voix du Peuple, which had a circulation of 40 000. It was the largest newspaper in the country as of the mid-1980s.[2]
