National Democratic Party (Cayman Islands)

{{unreferenced, date=January 2012
In 1962, Ormond Panton, OBE and his chief ally, William Warren Conolly, OBE of East End (both now National Heroes) founded and became the first two members of the National Democratic Party. It was the first successful political party in the Cayman Islands following on from the earlier attempted Cayman Vanguard Party retained his seat as the rest of the party lost at the polls.

The National Democratic Party never regained its popularity of the early 1960s and dissolved shortly after its loss in the 1968 elections.

Political parties disappeared until late 2001 and 2002 when the two current parties, the United Democratic Party and the Peoples Progressive Movement, were formed.
