The Basic Party for Renewal and Democracy (Dutch: Basispartij voor Vernieuwing en Democratie) was a political party in Suriname.[6]

2005 elections

At the legislative elections (25 May 2005), the party was part of the People's Alliance for Progress that won 14.5% of the popular vote and five out of 51 seats in the National Assembly.[7] The BVD itself won one seat.[8]

2010 elections

The BVD formed a coalition with the Political Wing of the FAL for the 2010 elections (25 May 2010). This coalition received 5.07% of the popular vote, but did not enter the National Assembly.[9]
