The Democratic Party (French: Parti Démocratique, PD) is a political party in Kovosasia. The party was founded right after the independence of Kovosasia in 1993 and is the successor of the Kovosasi Party active in Sagofagi politics prior to Kovosasi independence. It was the ruling party of Kovosasia from its independence till the 2021 Kovosasi coup d'état attempt.
Despite, the Democratic Party wanting Kovosasi independence, the party wants strong ties with Sagofagia. The party is against joining the Isladanic Community of Nations.
On 25 August 2021, party leader Marceau Royrose stepped down as Prime Minister due to several corruption accusations. An interim council was set up by the Democratic Party before announcing a successor. On 26 August 2021, the interim council, with help from Sagofagia, attempted a coup d'état attempt. A day later the attempt officially failed with the council and some prominant members of the Democratic Party being arrested. Other prominant members, among whom President Savio Deschamps, left the party.
The Democratic Party abstained from participating in the 2021 Kovosasi legislative election. In January 2022, Jean Tasa became the new party leader.
