The New Democracy Party (Lithuanian: Naujosios demokratijos partija, NDP) was a political party in Lithuania.

History

The party was originally named the Lithuanian Women's Party (Lietuvos moterų partija) and first ran in the 1996 parliamentary elections. It received 3.7% of the vote and won a single seat.^[1]

Prior to the 2000 elections the party was renamed the New Democracy Party. It contested the elections as part of the Social-Democratic Coalition of Algirdas Brazauskas. The coalition won 51 seats, of which three were taken by the NDP.^[2]

In 2001 the party merged with the Lithuanian Peasants Party to form the Union of Peasants and New Democracy Parties.^[3]
