The Karenni National Progressive Party (Burmese: ကရင်နီအမျိုးသားတိုးတက်ရေးပါတီ; abbr. KNPP) is a Karenni political organisation in Kayah State, Myanmar (Burma).[1] Its armed wing, the Karenni Army, fought against government forces for an independent Karenni State from 1957[1] until a ceasefire in 2012.[2] A similar ceasefire deal was signed in 1995, but it was dissolved within three months.[2] In 2021, KNPP became a member of the National Unity Consultative Council.[3]
