National Development Party (Brunei)

National Development Party (Malay: Parti Pembangunan Bangsa, فرتي فمباغونن بغسا; abbrev: NDP) is a political party in Brunei. Although legally registered as a political party, it has not been able to gain electoral representation as legislative elections have not been held in Brunei since 1962. The party formally legalised on 31 August 2005 by former rebel and Secretary General of the banned Brunei People's Party, Yassin Affandi, aka Haji Muhammad Yasin bin Abdul Rahman (died 2012), co-founded the Party, which is the third political party founded legally in Brunei to date.
