The KDP is unrelated to the similarly named Katipunan ng mga Demokratikong Pilipino (Union of Democratic Filipinos), an active leftist group opposed to the Marcos regime during the 1970s and 1980s.[3] The said group later evolved to the Christian Social Democratic Movement (CSDM).

Political positions

The Katipunan ng Demokratikong Pilipino's electoral agenda for the 2019 elections were to "stop electoral fraud" by cancelling Smartmatic's contract with the Commission on Elections and reforming the electoral system, to prosecute those involved in the Dengvaxia controversy, and to reduce electrical bills by repealing the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) of 2001.[4] Other platforms advocated by the party include the shift from a service economy to an agro-industrialized producer economy, food self-sufficiency, and the inclusion of the Philippines to the Belt and Road Initiative.[5][6]
