The National Democratic Movement (NDM) is a Pashtun nationalist and regionalist political party in Pakistan with social-democratic leanings. Established on 1 September 2021 in Peshawar by Mohsin Dawar, the party advocates for a federal parliamentary governance system and actively opposes the growing militarisation of society. The NDM also prioritises empowering women and youth by offering them platforms to engage in political activism. Mohsin Dawar serves as the party's chairman, while Jamila Gilani has been appointed as its spokesperson.
