Democratic Party (Singapore)
The Democratic Party was a short-lived party that was registered on 11 February 1955 by the people from Mandarin-speaking bourgeois who were members of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce.At the time, it was one of the two largest parties in Singapore as both parties had sent more than 20 candidates out of the total 25 seats before the emergence of Labour Front who became the ruling party after the 1955 elections and the People's Action Party that was the ruling party of Singapore after 1959 elections.
Despite being the two largest parties in Singapore, the Democratic and Progressive parties decided to merge in order to form the Liberal Socialist Party at 5 February 1956, only to be wound up a few years later.Logo
