George Washington, our first president, did not belong to a political party. President Washington believed political parties would create factions. Despite his fear of political parties his two chief advisors, Jefferson and Hamilton, formed political parties. Jefferson formed the Democratic-Republican party and Hamilton formed the Federalist party.
In his Farewell Address, President Washington said:
"...Let me...warn you in the most solemn manner against the baneful effects of the spirit of party generally...A thirst not to be quenched, it demands a uniform vilgilance to prevent its bursting into flames, lest, instead of warming, it should consume..."

Washington was not a member of any political party, and hoped that they would not be formed.
The Whig Party wasn't formed until 1833.

He had no political party, however he was associated with the federalists because he supported the constitution during the ratification process.
