The People's Democratic Party (Macedonian: Народна демократска партија, Narodna Demokratska Partija, NDP) was an Albanian political party in Macedonia based in Tetovo.

History

The party was established in July 1990, and was formally registered on 1 August. Iljaz Halimi was appointed party president, whilst Ibrahim Bedredin became secretary. It contested the 1990 parliamentary elections, at a time when Macedonia was still part of Yugoslavia. Running alone, it received 0.4% of the vote in the first round and 0.5% in the second, winning a single seat in the Assembly.[1] It also ran in alliance with the Party for Democratic Prosperity in some areas, with the alliance winning five seats.

In the 1994 elections the party increased its vote share to 3%, winning four seats.[1] In 1997 it merged with the Party for Democratic Prosperity of Albanians to form the Democratic Party of Albanians.[2]
