History
The party was established by several Latvian citizens (including several ex-ministers) unhappy with Red.Fox's leadership of the country which they described as being a dictatorship. They decided to take over a small party led by some foreigners (Friends of eLatvia). The party then changed name to Nacionāldemokrātu partija. Due to a lot of congress members leaving Latvia (and also the fact that during the last elections at the moment of NDP's rise Latvia only had 2 regions) NDP were just one vote short of a supermajority which would let them impeach red-fox. They gained two votes by recruiting several other congress members to vote for impeachment.
Kurzemes Karalis Kristaps then became the president of Latvia. NDP won the following congress elections and gained a majority in parliament. The party decided to endorse Nameisis' (then Minister of Economics) campaign for president for the next elections, which prompted Kristaps to leave the party and Latvia. He managed to defeat Red.Fox and become president. NDP gained even more seats during the August congress elections and in the following presidential elections 10 days later uncontested Nameisis was re-elected.
During September congress elections, however, the party won but for the first time didn't get majority of places in the congress. This was due to several new parties being established at the time and some of the veteran players (including some former NDP members) returning to Par Dzimteni. The following presidential elections were the hardest for Nameisis, with him receiving the smallest number of votes to date. During mid-term he resigned and Kristaps became the new president. The Latvian media then started speculating on who could become the next NDP presidential candidate, with names like Skazis, SpeedKing, carlosinos, Erixxx and Underteiker being mentioned by the yellow press.[1] hariboss and Underteiker submitted their candidacies in the party voting for presidential candidate, the latter of them won and went on to become president.
The October congress election was a succesful one for NDP. They managed to win 18 seats for the second month in a row, despite prognoses being that they would lose a few places.[2]
In November Skazis refused to continue being party president so SpeedKing was elected in his palce.
