Following the reintroduction of multi-party democracy after the 8888 Uprising, the Democracy Party was the first party to register when registration opened on 1 October 1988.[1] It contested 105 seats in the 1990 general elections.[2] It received 0.5% of the vote winning a single seat, U Tun Hlaing in the Bahan constituency in Yangon.[1]
