Sikkim Swatantra Dal

Sikkim Swatantra Dal (translation: Sikkim Independence Party) was a political party in Sikkim. The party was founded and led by Namgay Tsering and Kazi Lhendup Dorji.^[1]^[2] The latter served as the president of the party.^[3] The party was launched ahead of the November 1958 election, formed after a split from the Sikkim State Congress.^[4] The party called for the abolition of the communal electoral system.^[5] Kazi Lhendup Dorji contested the November 1958 election, but lost his seat.^[5] All in all, Swantantra Dal won a single seat in the election (a Bhutia-Lepcha seat).^[4]

Swatantra Dal took part in a conference, together with the Sikkim National Party, Sikkim State Congress and the Scheduled Castes League, held in Melli September 24-25, 1959. The conference demanded a full-fledged responsible government.^[5]

In May 1960 Kazi Lhendup Dorji founded a new party, the Sikkim National Congress.^[1]
