multiparty
Several groups involved
Multiparty describes situations involving more than two parties, whether political factions, legal entities, or participants in negotiations.
A multiparty system allows multiple political parties to compete for power, as opposed to one-party or two-party systems.
In legal and business contexts, multiparty litigation or multiparty talks involve several distinct groups with their own interests at the table.
