The National Development Party (NDP) was a conservative political party in Montserrat led by Bertrand Osborne.

History

The NDP was established in December 1984,[1] and launched a newspaper, the Montserrat Reporter the following year.[2] In the 1987 general elections it won two seats in the Legislative Council.[3] In the 1991 elections the party retained both seats.

By the 1996 elections Osborne was leader of the new Movement for National Reconstruction.
