The Dominica Freedom Party (DFP) was established in 1968. It is affiliated with the Caribbean Democrat Union and the International Democrat Union. The current leader of the party is Michael Astaphan. The DFP produced Dame Eugenia Charles as Dominica’s Prime Minister in 1980 and she served till 1995 when she retired. Dame Charles was also the party leader from 1972 to 1995.

The DFP was defeated in the 1995 general elections and Brian Alleyne became party leader. However, Charles Savarin emerged as the DFP party leader in 1996. But the party formed a coalition with the DLP for the 2000 general elections and Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit appointed Charles Savarin as a senator and minister of foreign affairs.

Dame Eugenia Charles was the political leader of the DFP in the House of Parliament from 1970 to 1995; Charles Savarin became the leader in the House from 2000 to 2005; and Michael Astaphan became leader from 2009 to date.

The DFP remains a minor political party in Dominica today.

The party’s office address is: 37, Great George Street, Roseau, Dominica. The party’s logo is a hand pointing ahead.
