The Committee of the German-Baltic Parties (German: Ausschuß der Deutschbaltischen Parteien, ADP) was an alliance of Baltic German political parties in Latvia during the inter-war period. Its members included the German-Baltic Democratic Party, the German-Baltic Progressive Party, the German-Baltic Reform Party, the German-Baltic People's Party, the German-Baltic Integration Party, the German-Baltic State Party and the Voters Association of Mitau.
History
The alliance won six seats in the 1920 Constituent Assembly elections.[1] It retained its six seats in the 1922 elections, but was reduced to four seats in the 1925 elections. The alliance won six seats again in 1928, before taking five seats in the 1931 elections, the last multi-party elections until 1990.
