Social Democratic Harmony Party

The Social Democratic Harmony Party is a regional political party based in Sabah, Malaysia founded by Peter Anthony and Juil Nuatim It aims to represent the interests of the Kadazan-Dusun and Murut people. The KDM is currently aligned to the government as a partner, providing confidence and supply to the Gabungan Rakyat Sabah state ruling coalition led by Chief Minister Hajiji Noor. The party's acronym, KDM, is also used to refer to the native Kadazan-Dusun and Murut communities.

History

KDM was founded as a political party on 28 January 2022. Its founding President Peter Anthony, considered a political strongman in Tenom, was a Member of the Sabah State Legislative Assembly for Melalap, State Minister of Infrastructure Development of Sabah, as well as a Vice-President of the Heritage Party.
He left WARISAN exactly a month before the founding of KDM on 28 December 2021 along with Limbahau MLA, Juil Nuatim. He claimed WARISAN "had diverted from its original path of serving Sabah" by expanding to Peninsular Malaysia, and denied that his exit was linked to an ongoing court case against him over false documents. Following Juil and Peter's exit, they were approached by the Homeland Solidarity Party, a major Kadazan-Dusun Murut party, but decided to persist with founding a new party that would be aligned with the ruling Gabungan Rakyat Sabah coalition.
It was officially registered with the Registrar of Societies on 18 February 2022, with Peter as president.
The party's official launch was officiated by GRS leader and Sabah Chief Minister Hajiji Noor. However, the party is not a member of the coalition, and its application has faced pushback from the United Sabah Party, another major Kadazan-Dusun Murut party.
Priscella Peter, the daughter of Peter Anthony, became president upon his conviction in court.
