National Democratic Party (Barbados)

The National Democratic Party was a centrist political party in Barbados which had been founded in 1989 by four defecting Democratic Labour Party ministers of parliament, led by the former finance minister Richard Haynes.[1] The party first contested national elections in 1991, when it won 6.8% of the vote, but failed to win a seat.[2] In the 1994 elections it increased its share of the vote to 12.8% and won a single seat. However, the party did not contest any further elections.
