The National Peoples Party (NPP) (Urdu: نیشنل پیپلز پارٹی) was a political party in Pakistan most active in the province of Sindh and southern parts of Punjab. It was founded in 1986 by Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi after falling out with Benazir Bhutto and leaving her Pakistan Peoples Party.
In the 2008 Pakistani general elections the party managed to win only one seat in the National Assembly. Ghulam Mustafa's son Ghulam Murtaza Khan Jatoi won election in NA-211 Naushahro Feroze-I, holding the seat won in 2002 elections by Dr. Abdul Ghaffar Khan Jatoi under the National Alliance banner. The party also won 3 provincial seats, all in the Sindh province.
In May 2013, the party merged with the Pakistan Muslim League (N).
When the party was founded in 1986, Ghulam Mustafa Jatoi brought a number of political heavyweights from all over the country under the National Peoples Party banner. Among them were former PPP stalwarts and Punjab Chief Ministers Ghulam Mustafa Khar and Hanif Ramay, former federal ministers S.M. Zafar and Hamid Raza Gilani, Malik Hamid Sarfraz, Nawab Ghaus Bux Raisani, Kamal Azfar, Mian Sajid Pervaiz, Nafees Siddiqui, Rana Muhammad Hanif Khan, Akhtar Hussain Shah, Rabbani Khar and Aftab Shah Gilani. An attractive manifesto was prepared and the party was expected to shoot into prominence in no time due to the declining popularity of the Peoples Party at the time.Now it is declining due to insufficient leadership now Irfan Abbasi is Media co-ordinater of National Peoples Party. He's working on Media of Party. Irfan Abbasi also worked in sukkur division information secretary. Soon irfan abbasi was kicked out of party due to alliance with PPP
