National Congress for New Politics

The National Congress for New Politics (새정치국민회의; NCNP) was a political party of South Korea.

History
The party was formed in 1995 as the National Congress for New Politics after Kim Dae-jung returned to active politics following his retirement in 1992. The majority of the party's early supporters were former members of the opposition Democratic Party, formed in 1991.

In the 1996 Parliamentary election the party managed to come a strong second, winning 79 seats. Later Kim's Democratic Party merged to the party. In the 1997 Presidential election, the party formed Alliance of DJP along with Alliance of Liberal Democrats, and Kim won the Presidency with 40% of the vote.

Dozens of members of the party, including Shin Ki-ha, were killed in the crash of Korean Air Flight 801 in August 1997.

In 2000, the party merged with the smaller New People Party, led by Rhee In-je, and a number of conservative politicians to create the Millennium Democratic Party.
