The Progressive Party (Dravidian: Kaska Purogati, KP), officially the Joint Progressive Party List (JPPL), is a centre-left political party in Mel-akkam. Founded in 1942 by the anti-British activist Maina Kathina as the Progressive Nonviolence Association (Dravidian: Kaska Satyagraha Purogati), the party played a significant role in securing Mel-akkam's independence. It went on to rule Mel-akkam uninterruptedly throughout the 20th century, until it lost power in 2022 and subsequently split. After a year of infighting and chaos, however, the leaders of rival KP factions agreed on a unity pact. The party was reconstituted, and went on to win the 2023 Autumnal Equinox Repeat Election.
