The Social Democratic Party UCA split into pro-UPA and pro-Popular Front factions, however the rift would be mended by the 1990 election. The foundation of the UPA and Popular Front are often called the beginning of the Sixth Party System, bringing the American system closer to many international models with shifting alliances and more parties.
