The Christian Democrats (CD, Dutch: Christen Democraten, officially known as the Christian Democratic Party until 1986) are a Christian democratic political party in Batavia. The party is the one of the three historical major political parties in Enderronian politics, the others being the Batavian Labour Party and the Free Democratic Party. The current party leader is Martijn Corbijn, since 2017.
The Christian Democrats were once Batavia's most dominant party, having the most seats in parliament continuously from 1949 to 1969 and from 1983 to 2003. It has served as the largest party in a coalition government during the periods 1949–1959, 1961–1967 and 1988–1999. Since the 2000s it has declined significantly, winning just 9 seats in the 2017 general election and finishing fifth.
