Organisation for National Reconstruction
The Organisation for National Reconstruction (ONR) was a short-lived political party in Trinidad and Tobago led by Karl Hudson-Phillips and Surujrattan Rambachan . The party contested the 1981 General Elections and despite getting the second-highest vote tally nationally, failed to win a single seat. In 1983 the ONR entered an Accommodation with the National Alliance, a group comprising the United Labour Front (led by Basdeo Panday), the Democratic Action Congress (led by A.N.R. Robinson) and the Tapia House Movement (led by Lloyd Best ). This grouping won the Local Government elections in 1983. In 1986 the parties formally merged into the National Alliance for Reconstruction which won the 1986 General Elections by a margin of 33 seats to 3.
