The Liberal Democratic Party is a political party in Kenya. At the last legislative elections, 27 december 2002, the party was a partner in the National Rainbow Coalition, that won 56.1 % of the popular vote and 125 out of 212 elected seats. The party itself took 59 of these seats. At the presidential elections of the same day, the party supported Mwai Kibaki, who won 62.2 % of the vote and was elected. Most of its members were formerly representing KANU, then the ruling party in Kenya. The main LDP figures are Raila Odinga and Kalonzo Musyoka.
After the Kenyan constitutional referendum in 2005 LPD left the NARC-government. Instead, LDP and KANU formed a coalition known as Orange Democratic Movement, later registered as a political party, ODM-Kenya. Thus LDP will run under the ODM banner in the 2007 general elections.
