The National Democratic Party (NDP) is a political party in Namibia. It was formed in 1973 as the Ovamboland Independence Party (OIP) by Silas Ipumbu.[1] It took the name NDP to contest the elections to the Ovambo Legislative Assembly, by then under the leadership of Cornelius Tuhafeni Ndjoba.[2] The party's base was amongst the Ovambo people.

The NDP contested in the 2015 local authority elections in the Zambezi Region but failed to gain a seat.[3]
