The Burma Democratic Party (Burmese: ဗမာပြည် ဒီမိုကရက်တစ် ပါတီ; BDP) was a political party in Burma.



History


The party was established by Dobama Asiayone founder U Ba Sein in the early 1950s.[1] The party had some support from Buddhist monks and, seeing itself as a right-wing alternative to the Anti-Fascist People's Freedom League, it joined the People's Democratic Front to contest 1951–52 general elections, with the alliance winning 19 seats.[2]


It ran alone in the 1956 elections, but received just 2.9% of the vote and failed to win a seat. Its vote share fell to 0.1% in the 1960 elections, in which it again failed to enter Parliament.[1]
