QDP is a non-profit organization founded upon the support of the inherent citizens of the State of Qatar in order to sustain the development for local democratic processes, promotion of human rights and active citizenship in State of Qatar.

If you want to change the future where all Qatari citizens are equal, where all get their opportunities based on their abilities and not based on their heirs, where there is no class differentiating us from one another and where we can provide the deserved respect and protection for anyone who comes into our country, then you are a person who can be involved to make a change

Qatar Democratic Party has been initiated on the basis of restoring back to the people what was once rightfully theirs

Our call for Democracy is not a new demand or agenda that we wish to introduce, Democracy was a greater part of how State of Qatar was first founded by the late Sheikh Mohammed Bin Thani who was the first Ruler of Qatar and one of its eminent leaders. He united the Qatari tribes and the country in a difficult stage, and was known of wisdom, far-sightedness and love of literature and poetry. His leadership united all Qatari tribes and did not differentiate between them, treated them equally and provide them with their inherent rights

Sheikh Mohammed Bin Thani was born around 1776 in Fuweirat in the northeast of Qatar, where he was raised, brought up and eventually became the Chief of his tribe after his father in 1839.

In 1848, the Sheikh moved to Doha (Al Bida) and became its Chief, his dominance extended to all parts of Qatar.

Sheikh Mohammed became Ruler of Qatar in 1851 and by his brave character and strong will he achieved a milestone accomplishment uniting all the leading tribes of Qatar under the purple-red banner that became the flag of the country, strengthening sovereignty of the country while developing political relations with great powers.  

 In Islam, power will be attained by the consent of the people. If in a society the chiefs of tribes’ consent and the mass people agree to it, then such is considered democracy. People's participation and share is mandatory in Islam which is a form of practiced democracy. Qatar Democratic Party seeks to ensure that People’s participation and share is not denied by anyone and that its chief’s power is only attained by the consent of the people and not an inheritance handed down by its predecessors
