The official 1994 results list parties on the national ballot by abbreviation only. A line with the same abbreviation is a separate record: DP (listed by abbreviation only). Its votes are not added to this party’s results.

Logo and colours

  • Party logos: Electoral Commission of South Africa (IEC)

Colours: no verified record. The IEC’s results dashboards draw parties in display colours of their own choosing; they are not the party’s statement and are not used.

Leadership

No manifesto of DEMOCRATIC PARTY is on the record yet. Manifestos are added only from the party’s own published copy.

Declared donations

As the Electoral Commission's published declarations reports print them; above the disclosure threshold only

No declaration naming this party appears in the Commission’s published reports on the record (2021/22 onwards). Donations below the disclosure threshold are not published by law, so this is not a statement that the party received nothing.

Sources

Every figure on this page is read from the approved official results of each election; nothing is entered by hand. Each election’s page lists the Electoral Commission’s files it was loaded from, with their fingerprints and how the totals were checked: 1994, 1999.
