The National Development Party (Burmese: အမျိုးသားတိုးတက်ရေးပါတီ; abbr. NDP) is a minor political party in Myanmar.[4] It was founded by Nay Zin Lat, a former political adviser to President Thein Sein, who retired from his post on 30 April 2015.[5][6] The party registered with the Union Election Commission before the registration deadline on 30 April, and in advance for the 2015 general election.[7] The party is organised by graduates and students of the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, a local NGO headed Nay Zin Lat himself.[7] The party promotes an ultranationalist and Buddhist nationalist platform, espousing racialist views and advocating suffrage for monks.[1]

The party registered 354 candidates who contested in the 2015 general election, but failed to win a single seat.[8]
