The National Democratic Party (Dutch: Nationaal Democratische Partij) is the main opposition party in Suriname. It was founded in 1987 shortly before the downfall of military dictator Dési Bouterse. Former President Jules Wijdenbosch was a member of the NDP; however, an allegedly reformed Bouterse is still the dominant figure and has a moderate degree of popular support.
Millennium Combinatie, an alliance in which the party was the main component, won 10 out of 51 parliamentary seats and took 15% of the vote in the elections of May 2000. At the last legislative elections (25 May 2005), the party won 23.1 % of the popular vote and 15 out of 51 seats in the National Assembly. The NDP publishes the NDP-Bulletin.
