The Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa (DNT) (Dzongkha: འབྲུག་མཉམ་རུབ་ཚོགས་པ་; Wylie: ’brug nyam-rub tshogs-pa) is one of the four registered political parties in Bhutan. It was registered on 20 January 2013.[2]

In the primary round of the 2nd National Assembly elections held in 2013, the DNT had 35,962 votes and came third place,[3] and so could not take part in the final round. However the then party president, Aum Dorji Choden, who placed first in her constituency, as well as several other DNT candidates who placed second in their own constuencies, resigned from the party to become successful candidates for the People's Democratic Party in the final round.
