All Mon Region Democracy Party
The All Mon Region Democracy Party (AMRDP) was a political party in Myanmar, representing the interests of the Mon people.[1] In the 2010 Myanmar general election, which was boycotted by both the main opposition National League for Democracy and the other main Mon party, the Mon National Party, the AMRDP won 16 total seats, 3 in the Pyithu Hluttaw (the lower house), 4 in the Amyotha Hluttaw and 9 in regional hluttaws.[2]

The party's former chairperson Nai Ngwe Thein died on 2 October 2018.[4]
