The Afar National Democratic Party (ANDP) is a political party in Ethiopia that represents the interests of the Afar ethnic group. Founded in the early 1990s, the party aims to promote the rights and development of the Afar people, focusing on issues such as land rights, education, and economic opportunities. The ANDP is part of the broader coalition known as the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF). The party operates primarily in the Afar Region, which is located in the northeastern part of Ethiopia. The ANDP works to address local challenges, including poverty and infrastructure development, while also participating in national politics. It seeks to ensure that the voices of the Afar people are heard in the Ethiopian government.
