About Party History
National Party, founded in 2003, is a secular, progressive, and democratic political force rooted in the aspirations of Pakistan’s oppressed nations and working people. Guided by the principles of social democracy, inclusive federalism, and human dignity, we envision a peaceful, pluralistic, and prosperous federation where all citizens enjoy equal rights, security, and justice.
Our history stems from the union of two ideological movements: Balochistan National Movement (BNM) and Balochistan National Democratic Party (BNDP). These organizations trace their roots back to the National Awami Party (NAP), which has historically fought for democratic federalism and people’s rights.
We are the heirs of a century-long national democratic struggle that began in Balochistan in 1918, expanding to Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and Sindh. Our mission remains clear: a democratic Pakistan where power flows from the people, and all federating units have control over their resources and decision-making.
President's Message
A Message from the President, Dr. Malik Baloch
Dear Citizens,
The National Party is dedicated to building a just and democratic Pakistan where equal rights for all nationalities, self-determination, and local empowerment are fundamental values. We advocate for provincial autonomy, giving each province control over its resources and coasts, ensuring fair and equitable development.
We believe in a shift from a security-focused state to a welfare-oriented democracy, where the people’s rights, dignity, and welfare are at the forefront. We are committed to a Pakistan where every citizen, regardless of region or ethnicity, has the opportunity to thrive in a society of equality, justice, and peace.
Together, we can ensure a prosperous future for generations to come.
