The Lahu Democratic Union (Burmese: လားဟူဒီမိုကရက်တစ်အစည်းအရုံး; abbreviated LDU) is a Lahu political and insurgent group in Myanmar. It signed the Nationwide Ceasefire Agreement (NCA) with the government of Myanmar on 13 February 2018.[2][3][4] The LDU is part of the United Nationalities Federal Council (UNFC) and its military coalition, the Federal Union Army (FUA).[5] After the February 2021 coup, the LDU split into two rival factions with Kyar Solomon leading the pro-Junta group.[6]
