Democrat Party (Malivia)

The Democrat Party (ÖDP) is a major party in the Malivian Republic. Founded in 3751 by Amir Özarin, the party won a national election for the first time in 3752 and served in government as the dominant force in Malivian politics for the next decades.

Originally a center-left, pro-democracy organization, the ÖDP gradually moved towards pragmatic syncretism during its first years in power. The party adopted a nationalist and populist rhetoric, and established its primary demographic stronghold in the middle and working classes. The party's abbreviation appearing on Malivian ballot papers is 'ÖDP', which is short for the group's original name, Özarin's Democrat Party, which was shortened to its current form in 3752. This name is still frequently used by both supporters and critics of the party in non-official contexts.

Since its inception, Amir Özarin has dominated the party's management and image.
