The Democratic Party (Maltese: Partit Demokratiku, PD) was a centrist to centre-left[1] political party in Malta. It was founded in 2016 after a split from the Labour Party. It elected Malta's first two third party MPs for the first time since the country's Independence. In August 2020 the party announced an agreement to merge with the green Democratic Alternative party to form a new party called AD+PD.[2] The merger was conducted on 17 October 2020.
