History
Registered on 25 March 1997,[2] the party joined the For a Democratic and Prosperous Moldova alliance to contest the 1998 elections.[3] The alliance received 18% of the vote, winning 24 of the 101 seats and becoming the third-largest faction in Parliament. It formed the Alliance for Democracy and Reforms coalition together with Democratic Convention of Moldova and the Party of Democratic Forces, which was able to form a government led by Ion Ciubuc.
The party won 25 seats in the 1999 local elections (0.41% of the total).[2] The alliance was dissolved prior to the 2001 elections,[3] which the PDPM did not contest.
It joined the Our Moldova Alliance for the May 2003 local elections,[2] before merging into it in July 2003.[3]
