The Oceanian Democratic Rally (, RDO) is a leftist, pro-independence, militant political party in New Caledonia. It is a component of the National Union for Independence, which in turn is one of the two components of the Kanak and Socialist National Liberation Front (FLNKS).
History The party was founded in either 1992 of 1994 by local Polynesian Wallisians and Futunians favourable to the independence of New Caledonia from France. Aloïsio Sako, who had served as President of the Polynesian-based Oceanian Union and was a police officer, was removed from office by the then-Minister of the Interior Charles Pasqua.
The party holds one seat in the Congress of New Caledonia representing the South Province, which has a sizeable Polynesian population.
