The Sotirian Democratic Party of Imagua and the Assimas (Vespasian: Partito Democratico Sotiriano di Imagua e Assime), or the Sotirian Democratic Party (Vespasian: Partito Democratico Sotiriano) for short, was one of the two major political parties on Imagua and the Assimas, the other being the Democratic Labour Party, operating from 1892 until it merged with the National Labour Party to create the Sotirian Labour Party in 1997.
Originating in 1890 as the Sotirian Country Association by Harmon Lambourne, and renamed to the Sotirian Country Party in 1891 before adopting its final name in 1922, it was the governing party of the Estmerish colony of Imagua from 1892 to 1917, from 1936 to 1952, and from 1956 to 1960, benefitting from the support of the Eucleo-Imaguan population, who exerted extensive political and economic influence in the country in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. However, from the 1940s onwards, as Imagua became independent, the Sotirian Democrats began to lose influence to the Democratic Labour Party, as the latter garnered extensive support from the majority Bahio-Imaguan and Coian-Imaguan populations.
From 1960 onward, the Sotirian Democratic Party declined in relevance, particularly as many voters saw it as a white supremacist party, due to the fact most of its members and many of its voters were Estmero-Imaguans. The declined only accelerated when the National Labour Party emerged in 1978 due to a schism within the Democratic Labour Party, which led many Bahio-Imaguans who previously supported the SDP against the DLP to move to the NLP, reducing the party's stature: by 1992, it lost all of its seats, and after gaining zero seats, it was dissolved in 1997, when it finally merged into the newly-established Sotirian Labour Party, with a small minority of members founding the Sotirian Defence Party.
