The Slovenian People's Party (Slovene: Slovenska ljudska stranka, SLS) is a rural-based conservative political party in Slovenia. Formed in 1988 under the name of Slovenian Peasant Union as the first non-Communist political organization in Yugoslavia, it merged with the Slovene Christian Democrats to form the present-day party in 2000. Since 2009, it has been led by Radovan Žerjav. SLS won 6.83% of the vote at the early 2011 Slovenian parliamentary election on 4 December 2011, thus gaining 6 seats in the National Assembly.

It shows the strength of party ties.”
