The Tiwuran Democratic Party is a major political party in Tiwura, and has been one of Tiwura's two major political parties since 2009. It was founded in 2002 by Nicholas Chukwudi and several other political activists after then-president Mowiya Sekoni agreed to bring back democratic elections to Tiwura. The TDP would win in landslides in the 2003 Tiwuran general election and Chukwudi would become the first democratically elected leader of Tiwura since Derrick Clearmont. This was because the early party appealed to most demographics after Chukwudi and Kolawole would promise sweeping reforms after a half century of dictatorship. The party would be opposed by the United Movement of the People, a successor to the ideals of Sekoni and the Tiwuran Alliance of Peoples. By the end of the decade the TDP began to shift towards the interests of the Mwo and Sotirian majorities as well as pushing for economic liberalism and close relations with Estmere. This would result in the party's split in 2009, when Enyinayya Akabueze and several party leaders left to form their modern political rival the National Unity Party.
