Democratic Independent Party (Democratic Independent Party; Korean: 민주독립당; RR: Minju Dongnipdang) was a centrist political party in North and South Korea.[6][7] The party was established on 19 October 1947. Its initiators were An Jae-hong, Kim Byung-ro, Hong Myong-hui, Kim Ho, Pak Yong-hee, Yi Kuk-no and Kim Won-yong.[8] Of them, Hong became the chairman of the party.[9]
It opposed Syngman Rhee's single-candidate government theory and supported Kim Gu and Kim Kyu-sik's North-South negotiation theory, but after the 1948 North-South Joint Conference, it split into pro-North and 'Yang Kim' factions, and after several mass defections from the party, it transformed into a pro-North minor party. It participated in elections in North Korea from 1948 until at least 1962.[10]
