The New Democratic Front is a progressive political party in Botswana without parliamentary representation. Led by Dick Bayford, it split away from the Botswana National Front in 2003. It won only 0.78% of the popular votes at the last elections. After its poor performance in the 2004 general elections the party has since joined forces with Botswana's third largest party Botswana Congress party.
