National Democratic Party (Namibia)


The National Democratic Party is a political party in Namibia. It was formed in 1973 as the Ovamboland Independence Party by Silas Ipumbu. It took the name NDP to contest the elections to the Ovambo Legislative Assembly, by then under the leadership of Cornelius Tuhafeni Ndjoba. The party's base was amongst the Ovambo people.
After being dormant for three decades the NDP contested in the 2015 local authority elections in the Zambezi Region but failed to gain a seat. In 2019 it contested the national assembly election and gathered 4,559 votes, not enough to gain a seat in parliament.
