The Unity and Democracy Party of Kachin State (Burmese: စည်းလုံးညီညွတ်ရေးနှင့် ဒီမိုကရေစီပါတီ ကချင်ပြည်နယ်; abbreviated UDPKS) is a minor political party in Myanmar (Burma).[1] It was founded on 2 August 2010, and is one of the few ethnic minority parties to have formed an alliance with the Union Solidarity and Development Party; a move which has damaged the party's legitimacy among the Kachin people.[2] The party currently has one representative in the Kachin State Hluttaw, Daw Dwe Bu, representing the Injanyang constituency.
