The Centrist Reformists Democratic Party is a political party of South Korea.
Formerly called Millennium Democratic Party (MDP), or Saecheonnyeon Minju-dang (새천년민주당 in Korean), but changed its name to the present form on May 6, 2005.
President Roh Moo-hyun was elected as the party's candidate in 2002, but he subsequently left the party and his supporters formed the Uri Party in 2003.
The MDP lost popularity when Roh was impeached in March of 2004 by the National Assembly for illegal electioneering and incompetence charges with support from the Grand National Party, losing 53 seats to a total of only 9 seats in the 2004 parliamentary election. Roh Moo-hyun has since then been re-instated by the Constitutional Court.
