TheProgressive Democratic Party (Malay: Parti Demokratik Progresif,Abbrev:PDP), formerly known asSarawak Progressive Democratic Party (Abbrev:SPDP), is aSarawak-basedpolitical party inMalaysia founded in 2002.
The party was founded in the wake of the de-registration of theSarawak National Party in November 2002 by a faction aligned to theChief Minister of Sarawak,Abdul Taib Mahmud, led by William Mawan Ikom.[2] The party has since rebranded in using a new name - Progressive Democratic Party since 2017 and has planned to expand to certainWest Malaysian states e.g.Selangor,Negri Sembilan andJohor (where it has established 6 divisions in 2017),[3] though the party is mostly active in Sarawak. It is one of the former component party of theBarisan Nasional coalition.[1] Following the fall of BN in the2018 general election and in the aftermath of meeting between all Sarawak-based BN coalition parties on 12 June 2018, PDP left the coalition to form a new Sarawak-based coalition ofSarawak Parties Alliance.[4]
In April 2024,Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) were merged into PDP and its members were accepted into PDP, including 3 MLAs of PSB.[5]
