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.
