third parties
Neither primary party
Third parties are people or groups who are not the main participants in a situation, agreement, or dispute.
In contracts and legal matters, the primary parties are those directly bound by the agreement, while third parties are outsiders who may be affected by or have interest in the outcome.
In politics, third parties are political organizations outside the dominant two-party system.
