Katipunan ng Demokratikong Pilipino

Katipunan ng Demokratikong Pilipino (KDP) is a Philippine neo-nationalist political party founded on February 7, 2003. It was formed by supporters of 16th President Rodrigo Duterte, including some officers affiliated with the Citizen National Guard, a nationalist, anti-communist political advocacy group, including party chairman and former Department of Education undersecretary Butch Valdes, President Ramon Pedrosa, Executive Vice President Princess Lady Ann Indanan-Sahidulla, and Dr. Ricardo Fulgencio IV. The party had fielded former Lieutenant General Antonio Parlade Jr. in the 2022 presidential election, which he was disallowed to run by COMELEC.

Since the passing of the KDP Founding Chairman Antonio 'Butch' Valdes in 2022, he was replaced by the KDP Vice-President Carlos Enrique Gomez Valdes III as the new head of the national political party KDP.

The KDP is unrelated to the similarly named Katipunan ng mga Demokratikong Pilipino (Union of Democratic Filipinos), a United States-based Marxist–Leninist–Maoist group which had opposed the Ferdinand Marcos regime during the 1970s and 1980s.
