National Progressive Party (Lao: ພັກຊາດກ້າວຫນ້າ, romanized: Phak Xat Kao Na) was a political party in Laos in the 1950s. The party was founded in 1950 by former Lao Issara members Xieng Mao, Souvanna Phouma, and Katay Don Sasorith.[1][2][3]
In the August 1951 elections for the National Assembly of Laos, the party won 19 of 39 seats, which was considered a landslide victory; in 1955, won with 23 of 39 seats.[2] The party's leader, Souvanna Phouma, became prime minister.[4][5]
Following the 1958 election, the party dissolved when it merged with the Independent Party into the Lao People's Rally.[6][5][7]
