The Democratic Party For the People[8][nb 1] (国民民主党, Kokumin Minshu-tō), abbreviated to DPFP[9] or DPP, is a centre[10][11][12] to centre-right,[13][14][15] conservative[16] political party in Japan. The party was formed on 7 May 2018 from the merger of the Democratic Party and Kibō no Tō (Party of Hope).[9] In September 2020, the majority of the party reached an agreement to merge with the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan[17] and the original party was officially dissolved on 11 September 2020. However, 14 DPFP members refused to merge, including party leader Yuichiro Tamaki, and instead formed a new party retaining the DPFP name and branding.[16][18]
