A dominant-party system, or one-party dominant system is "any multiparty (or even one-party if opposition groups are allowed to exist, as in the case of the late USSR) state that has a dominant party". A dominant (predominant or hegemonic) party is "any ruling party that stays in power for more than one consecutive term". Between 1950 and 2017, more than 130 countries were included in the list of dominant-party systems, i.e. almost every state in the World on national, sub-national and district levels, both democratic and authoritarian. Nowadays Examples include United Russia (UR) in Russia, the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in Turkey, the Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) in Serbia, the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) in Venezuela, the New Azerbaijan Party (YAP) in Azerbaijan, Nur Otan in Kazakhstan, the People's Democratic Party of Tajikistan (PDPT) in Tajikistan, the Uzbekistan Liberal Democratic Party in Uzbekistan, Fidesz in Hungary, the People's Action Party (PAP) in Singapore, the African National Congress (ANC) in South Africa, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in Japan, the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) in Cambodia, the Awami League in Bangladesh, ZANU–PF in Zimbabwe, the Botswana Democratic Party (BDP) in Botswana, the MPLA in Angola, the Rwandan Patriotic Front (FPR) in Rwanda, the Human Rights Protection Party (HRPP) in Samoa and the National Council for the Defense of Democracy – Forces for the Defense of Democracy (CNDD–FDD) in Burundi.
