The Natatok Indigenous People's Democratic Party (NIPDP) is a political party in Vanuatu.

History

The NIPDP was founded in July 2011 as a re-establishment of a party that contested the 1979 elections.[1] In the 2012 elections the party nominated six candidates, winning two of the 52 seats in Parliament; Alfred Rollen Carlot in Efate and Jonas James in Paama.[2] The party was given a ministerial post in the government formed by Moana Carcasses Kalosil in March 2013.[1]

In the 2016 elections the party fielded ten candidates,[3] but was reduced to a single seat, Alickson Vira winning in Ambae.[4]
