NIEUWE CHRISTEN-DEMOCRATEN (NCD)

The New Christian Democrats ('Nieuwe Christen-Democraten' in Dutch) is a conservative Christian Democratic political party in Kronenburg.

The NCD became the successor party of  the Christian Reformed Union ('Christelijk Gereformeerde Unie', CGU) in 1991, after the latter was completely redesigned as a result of a continuing loss of seats in the Noordkamer since 1980, which caused the party to develop from sole government party in 1981 into a small opposition party in 1989, which lost many members to other right wing parties, such as the LKP. The NCD never managed to return to the success of the CGU, but was part of a coalition government in 2006 and 2007, together with the LKP and the PvG.

Political leaders of the NCD:
Aldo Facchinetti (1991 - 1993)
Frans Munster (1993 - 1999)
Jan-Harm Schutte (1999 - 2006)
Margriet de Wilde-Westers (since 2006)
