Democratic National Union of Kurdistan (Kurdish: یەکێتی نەتەوەیی دیموکراتی کوردستان, romanizedYekîtî Neteweyî Dîmukratî Kurdistan, abbreviated as YNDK) is a political party that is based in South Kurdistan.It was founded in 1996 by Ghafur Makhmuri.[1] Its main goal is to establish independence for the greater Kurdistan. The party was part of the Kurdistani List in the 2005 elections and received 1 seat in the Kurdistani parliament.[citation needed]

On 11 November 2023, the party held its 6th congress, where over 200 members were reportedly present. At the congress, Makhmuri said to a journalist that Kurdistan would be in a difficult situation and that the different Kurdish parties would have to cooperate and help each other.[1]

For the 2024 Kurdistan Region parliamentary election, the party joined an electoral alliance together with the Kurdistan Conservative Party and the Kurdistan Laborers' Party. The alliance is called Serdem Coalition.[2]
