National Democratic Party (Fiji, 2006)
The National Democratic Party (NDP) was a political party in Fiji, founded in 2006 by Adi Koila Nailatikau, the daughter of the then-Vice President Ratu Joni Madraiwiwi. The party positioned itself as a multiracial, centrist alternative to the dominant parties in Fijian politics at the time, focusing on issues of good governance, economic development, and national unity.
The NDP contested the 2006 Fijian general election, but failed to win any seats in Parliament. Adi Koila Nailatikau, as the party leader, unsuccessfully contested a seat. The party's campaign platform emphasized reducing corruption, improving social services, and fostering greater inclusivity in Fijian society.
Following the 2006 election, the NDP's presence in Fijian politics diminished. The military coup later that year, led by Commodore Frank Bainimarama, resulted in the suspension of Parliament and significant changes to the political landscape, further impacting the party's activities. Information on the party's formal dissolution or current status is limited, suggesting it is likely inactive or defunct.
