Kurdistan Democratic Party (Iran)


The Kurdistan Democratic Party is an ethnic party of Kurds in Iran, which split from Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan in 2006 after a dispute over choosing its next leader in the latter's 13th convention. The party "has no real influence on the masses in Iranian Kurdistan", according to Rodi Hevian.
The first time in 2016, Iranian agents had planted a bomb outside the party headquarters that killed and injured several members. The second time was in 2018 when the Iranian regime attacked the KDP-I party headquarters with ballistic missilier from Iran to Iraqi Kurdistan where the party headquarters is located.
The party was accepted a full member of the Socialist International at its November 2015 Council meeting in Luanda, Angola.
