The Kurdish Democratic Party (Kurdish: Partiya Demokrata Kurd; Turkish: Kürt Demokrat Partisi) is a Kurdish political party in Turkey.
On May 12, 2020, Reà Âit Akñncñ announced the official establishment of the Kurdish Democratic Party. The party was originally supposed to be named "Kurdistan Democratic Party", and branded as a Turkish version of the Iraqi Kurdistan Democratic Party, although its leadership replaced "Kurdistan" with "Kurdish" to avoid being banned. Akñncñ stated that the party walks "on the path of Mullah Mustafa Barzani, and is on his national line". Akñncñ claimed that the party was formed as a conservative Kurdish party, and as a "third line for Kurds" who were too Kurdish for the AKP, and too conservative for the HDP.
Akñncñ was a member of the Turkey Kurdistan Democratic Party (T-KDP) before leaving it. Despite its name, T-KDP had no ideological relation with Barzani or KDP, and was actually left-wing and liberal. Akñncñ left T-KDP after its leader Mehmet Emin Kardaà  joined an alliance with HDP, with Akñncñ stating that it was not because of the alliance itself, but because Kardaà  had joined the alliance without consulting the rest of T-KDP.
CHP leader Kemal KñlñçdaroÃÂlu claimed that "when the government could not take the HDP to its side, they are looking to establish a second party and break up the HDP", after which Akñncñ replied "a party established by conservative politicians has come out to support the People's Alliance. This does not apply to us. We did not have such a request, nor did we receive such a request from the People's Alliance. Savcñ Sayan, the AKP mayor of AÃÂrñ, claimed that the party was planning on supporting the PeopleâÂÂs Alliance, although it was denied by Akñncñ.
The party did not participate in the 2023 Turkish general election, although it supported HAK-PAR and HÃÂDA-PAR during the election, after its leader visited politicians from both parties.
