== Transhumanist Party ==

The first organisation bearing the name "Transhumanist Party" was founded in the USA in October 2014 by [[Zoltan Istvan]] who announced his plan to run for US President under this banner.

A semi-formal [[Transhumanist Party Global]] formed from activists involved in party formation internationally including [[Amon Twyman]]. This organisation has sought to coordinate the formation of various national political parties, often via [[Facebook]] initially.

In the UK, [[Alex Karran]] ran as an independent candidate in the May 2015 general election prior to [[Transhumanist UK|the UK party's]] official registration.<ref>[http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/technology-science/technology/cyborg-supporting-transhumanist-party-appoints-5494746 Cyborg supporting Transhumanist Party appoints first political candidate in UK]</ref>

Shortly after the UK party's first AGM in October 2015, the UK party made a statement<ref>[https://transhumanistparty.wordpress.com/2015/10/12/zoltan-istvan-does-not-speak-for-the-transhumanist-party/ Zoltan Istvan does not speak for the Transhumanist Party]</ref> stating that Zoltan does not have a 'real' political party and should claim no moral authority over the international movement.
