By  Dr. Mellissa Ifill

This article is the second of a two-part series that examines the pre-independence alliance between the PNC and the UF. The first part examined the 1955 split in the multi-ethnic PPP and the first failed attempt by the PNC and the UF to establish an alliance in 1960. This article examines the circumstances surrounding the formation of the PNC-UF coalition in 1964 and its demise by 1968.
