The Burma Socialist Programme Party (BSPP)[lower-alpha 1] was Burma's ruling party from 1962 to 1988 and the sole legal party from 1964 to 1988. Party chairman Ne Win overthrew the country's democratically elected government in a coup d'état on 2 March 1962. For the next 26 years, the BSPP governed Burma under a totalitarian military dictatorship, until mass protests in 1988 pressured party officials to adopt a multi-party system.
