The Progressive Party of Nouvelle Alexandrie (PPNA) is a a centre to centre-left liberal political party in Nouvelle Alexandrie. In 1697 AN, changes to the active status registration of several political parties that maintained caucuses in the Federal Assembly resulted in the dissolution of several parties, including the then-second largest party and a member of the Government of National Unity, Cambio Democrático. This resulted in Deputies that were members of Cambio Democrático to defect to either the Federal Humanist Party, the successor to the Progressive Federalist Party, the Solidarity Party. The remaining Deputies that once formed Cambio Democrático gathered and founded the Progressive Party.
In the period leading up to the 1698 general election, neither the Solidarity Party and the Progressive Party, were independently capable of defeating the rising Federal Humanist Party. A movement called "Unite the Left" rose to prominent with the objective of merging the two parties into a single party (or, if this was not possible, to find a power-sharing arrangement between the two parties). Leaders and party members of both parties negotiated for several weeks and announced their merger and joint candidacy lists two days before candidacies closed for the 1698 general election with the formation of the Social Democratic & Liberal Alliance with Robert Beaujolais serving as its first leader.
