The party's original request to participate in the 2010 general election was denied by the electoral commission, due to D. Manam Tu Ja's ties to the KIO. One of the campaign goals of the KSDP was to amend parts of the 2008 constitution.[1]
Dissolved
KSDP merged with Unity and Democracy Party of Kachin State and Kachin Democratic Party to form Kachin State People's Party on 7 June 2019.[2]
