The Democratic Coalition of Namibia (DCN) was a political party in Namibia.

History

The DCN was founded in 1994 as the successor of the Namibia Patriotic Front (NPF) which already had a seat in Parliament. Several members of the Democratic Turnhalle Alliance and the Action Christian National also joined the new party.[2]

Election results

The DCN contested the 1994 Namibian general election. After winning only one seat the party's sole representative in the National Assembly became party leader Moses Katjiuongua. The party failed to get a seat in the 1999 Namibian general election[3] and did not contest the 2004 Namibian general election. It was deregistered in 2009.[1]
