The National Democratic Movement (NDM; Pashto: ملي جمهوري غورځنګ, romanized: Millī Jumhūrī Ghōrźang; Urdu: قومی جمہوری تحریک) is a Pashtun nationalist,[4] regionalist, and social-democratic political party in Pakistan. The NDM seeks to resist the "growing militarisation" and promotes a federal parliamentary system.[2] It also aims to provide a platform to women and youth for organising their political activism.[6] It was founded by Mohsin Dawar on 1 September 2021 in Peshawar.[7][8][9]

Mohsin Dawar was elected as the chairman and Jamila Gilani as the spokesperson.[7]
