The Afghan Social Democratic Party (Pashto: افغان ټولنپال ولسواکیز ګوند, Âfgan-e Tewâlnupal-e Wâlsuakâiz-e Gund), more commonly known as the Afghan Mellat Party (افغان ملت ګوند – Afğān Mellat Gund; "Afghan Nation Party") or simply the Afghan Mellat, is a Pashtun nationalist political party in Afghanistan. The party's leadership describes it as social democratic, although it has been historically described as 'ethno fascist' by observers. The party's current leader is Stanagul Sherzad, who became the new leader after the 6th party congress on October 3, 2012.
