Later in 1955[1] the UDS was expelled from RDA, and substituted by the less radical Senegalese Popular Movement (MPS).
In 1956 UDS decided to merge into the Senegalese Popular Bloc (BPS). Former UDS cadres played an important role in the formation of African Regroupment Party-Senegal (PRA-Sénégal).
