The two parties that formed the coalition government in 1959 were the Northern People's Congress (NPC) and the National Council of Nigerian Citizens (NCNC). After Nigeria gained independence from Britain in 1960, the country was governed by a coalition government made up of several political parties. The NPC and the NCNC were the two largest parties in the country at the time, and they formed a coalition government with the goal of working together to promote the interests of all Nigerians. The NPC was a predominantly Northern party that drew its support from the Muslim population in the region, while the NCNC was a predominantly Southern party that drew its support from the Igbo population in the East. Despite their regional and religious differences, the two parties were able to come together and form a coalition government that lasted until 1964. During their time in power, the NPC and NCNC government implemented a number of policies aimed at promoting economic growth and development, as well as addressing issues of regional and ethnic tensions. However, the coalition government eventually fell apart due to disagreements between the two parties, which led to the formation of a new government led by the NPC.
