The National Democratic Force (Burmese: အမျိုးသား ဒီမိုကရေစီ အင်အားစု, pronounced [ʔəmjóðá dìmòkəɹèsì ʔɪ̀ɴʔázṵ], also known as the United Democratic Front; abbreviated NDF) is a Burmese political party formed by former members of the National League for Democracy (NLD), who chose to contest the 2010 general election in Burma (Myanmar). The party's chairman is Than Nyein.[1] Its headquarters are in Tamwe Township, Yangon.

The party was among three major parties running for constituencies nationwide.[2] The other two were the National Unity Party and the Union Solidarity and Development Party. NDF's adoption of the peasant bamboo hat, which is the traditional symbol of the National League for Democracy, created some controversy.[3]

Policy platform

NDF is a social liberal party that seeks to promote individual freedoms and a market economy with state regulation. The party supports civil and human rights and believes that ethnic political issues should be resolved alongside democracy and human rights issues. The party encourages the development of civil society organisations.[4]

Leadership

The party is run by its 15-member Central Executive Committee.
