The Samoa National Democratic Party is a political party in Samoa. Its leader is Valasi Toogamaga Tafito.[1]
The party was registered in late 2019 and claims to be a recreation of the old Samoan National Development Party, which was Samoa's main opposition between 1988 and 2003.[2] Its major policy issues are customary land rights, unemployment, and the enfranchisement of overseas Samoans.[2]
The party aimed to contest the 2021 Samoan general election. In May 2020 it announced that it had recruited 17 candidates.[3]
On 2 September 2020 the party announced it would join forces with the Faʻatuatua i le Atua Samoa ua Tasi and Tumua ma Puleono parties to contest the 2021 election.[4] SNDP and Tumua ma Puleono candidates will run under the FAST banner, with only one candidate in each constituency.[5] In the general election, four SNDP-affiliated candidates won seats.[6]
The party contested the 2025 general election.[7]
