New Palangdharma Party (NPD, Thai: พรรคพลังธรรมใหม่, พธม., RTGS: Phak Palangtham Mai) is a political party in Thailand that was launched in March 2018 by former secretary-general of the original Palang Dharma party, Ravee Maschamadol, and other members of now defunct party, though its founder, Chamlong Srimuang did not join, citing his retirement from politics. The party was also joined by many former members of Mahachon Party and New Aspiration Party.[1] The party describes its ideology as "Moral Democracy".[2]
In 2019 general elections, the party stood in 134 constituencies and 24 party-list candidates with only one elected to the house.[3][4] After government formation talks, New Palangdharma along with other 10 single-member party join a 19-party coalition led by the Palang Pracharath Party. In 2023 the party sent 11 party-list members to contest that year's election.
