The National Democratic Party (Partido Nacional Democrática) was a Salvadoran political party that existed from 1913 to 1931. The party held power from 1913 to 1931 in a time period of El Salvador known as the Meléndez–Quiñónez dynasty. El Salvador was called a "coffee republic" during the reign of the PND due to the country's heavy reliance on coffee exports.[1] The party ruled as the country's sole political party.[2]
