The Liberal Democratic Party ( French: Parti Libéral-Démocrate, PLD) is a political party in the Central African Republic.
History
The PLD was established in 1991. [1] In the 1993 general elections it won seven seats in the National Assembly, becoming the joint third-largest faction. Following the elections it became part of a coalition government headed by Jean-Luc Mandaba of the Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People (MLPC). [2]
In the next parliamentary elections in 1998 the PLD was part of the Presidential Movement, but was reduced to two seats. [3] The party again allied itself with the MLPC, which was able to form a government after the defection of an opposition MP. The PLD was given four ministerial posts in the government led by Anicet-Georges Dologuélé. [4] It was also part of the government formed by Martin Ziguélé in April 2001. [4]
The party was part of the National Convergence "Kwa Na Kwa" alliance for the 2005 elections. The alliance won four seats, of which the PLD took three. [5]
In 2010 the PLD joined the Presidential Majority alliance in preparation for the 2011 general elections. [6] The party nominated 15 candidates for the National Assembly elections, [7] and although the alliance won 11 seats, the PLD failed to win a seat.
