The '''Union for Homeland''' ({{langx|ar|الإتحاد من أجل الوطن}}, {{Transliteration|ar|''Al-Ittihad min Ajl Al-Watan''}})<ref>{{Citation |first=Nada |last=El-Kouny |title=Libya preps for the first national elections in 43 years |newspaper=Ahram Online |date=6 July 2012 |url=http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/2/8/46831/World/Region/Libya-preps-for-the-first-national-elections-in--y.aspx}}</ref> is a political party in Libya, founded in 2012. It is mainly based in Misrata District. The party is led by Abdulrahman Sewehli, a prominent opponent of former leader Muammar Gaddafi. The Union advocates strong decentralisation of power on a local level, but rejects federalism. It proposes a semi-presidential system on the French model. The Union for Homeland calls for a consequent break with the old regime and wants to ban figures who held ranks during Gaddafi's government from political influence.<ref>{{Citation |first=Michel |last=Cousins |title=Party Profile: The Union for Homeland |newspaper=Libya Herald |date=4 July 2012 |url=http://www.libyaherald.com/party-profile-the-union-for-homeland/}}</ref><ref>{{Citation |title=POMED Backgrounder: Previewing Libya's Elections |publisher=Project on Middle East Democracy |date=5 July 2012 |page=15}}</ref>
