The Democratic Party was a political party in Japan. It was the largest opposition party in Japan from 2016 until it lost its seats in the House of Representatives in 2017. The party was founded on 27 March 2016 from the merger of the Democratic Party of Japan and the Japan Innovation Party. The majority of the party split away on 28 September 2017, before the 2017 general election. Many of its members contested the 2017 election as candidates for the Party of Hope, Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan or as party members without nomination. On 7 May 2018 the DP merged with the Party of Hope to form the Democratic Party For the People.
