The National Rally for Democracy (In Arabic: التجمع الوطني الديمقراطي, French, Rassemblement National Démocratique, thus RND) is a political party in Algeria.
The head of Algeria's governing coalition, Prime Minister Ahmed Ouyahia belongs to the party and is currently its leader. In the 2002 elections it polled 9.5% of the vote, and got 47 of 380 seats in the Algerian Parliament (down from 156).
The RND is a member of a three party political alliance, called the presidential alliance, created in 2005, and comprising the parties known as Movement for the Society of Peace (formerly Hamas) and the former single legal party, National Liberation Front (FLN). It is loyal to the current President of Algeria, Abdelaziz Bouteflika, and considered close to elements of the politically powerful Algerian military.
