The National Democratic Convention (Nadeco) is a South African political party formed in August, 2005 by Ziba Jiyane, the former Inkatha Freedom Party (IFP) chairperson. In September 2005 the provincial African Christian Democratic Party leader and MP Reverend Hawu Mbatha joined Nadeco.
Ziba Jiyane left the IFP after a public feud with IFP President Mangosuthu Buthelezi over the direction of the IFP. Jiyane claimed that the IFP was not adequately democratic. Jiyane was suspended by the IFP leadership and resigned, forming Nadeco.
