The Democratic Party (abbreviated DP or DPK for Democratic Party of Korea; Korean: 더불어민주당; lit. Together Democratic Party), formerly known as the New Politics Alliance for Democracy (NPAD; 새정치민주연합), is a liberal[12] political party in South Korea. The DPK and its rival, the People Power Party (PPP), form the two major political parties of South Korea.

The NPAD was founded on 26 March 2014 out of a merger between the Democratic Party and the preparatory committee of the New Political Vision Party (NPVP) led by Ahn Cheol-soo. The party changed its name to the Democratic Party on 28 December 2015. In 2022, the Democratic Party, the Open Democratic Party,[13][full citation needed] and New Wave[14][full citation needed] merged to form a big tent party.[15][16]
