'''Northern Rhodesian African National Congress''' was a [[political party]] in [[Zambia]]. Formed in [[1948]], as the '''Northern Rhodesian Congress''', it was the first African political party in the country. NRC had its roots in the [[Federation of Welfare Societies]].
In [[1951]] the party adopted the name 'Northern Rhodesian African National Congress' under the presidency of Harry Nkumbula. It was linked to the [[African National Congress]] in [[South Africa]]. In [[1953]] [[Kenneth Kaunda]] became the general secretary of the organization.
In [[1958]] the party was divided on whether to participate in the legislative elections, in which only a minority of the black population was allowed to vote. The more radical Kaunda broke away, and formed the [[Zambian African National Congress]].
