The People's Democratic Party (PDP) is a political party in Tonga. It was formed after a split in the Human Rights and Democracy Movement[1]. The party was founded on 8 April 2005 in 'Atenisi. Teisina Fuko was the first person elected to the party presidency at a meeting on 15 April 2005[2].
Former Police Minister Clive Edwards subsequently won election to the Legislative Assembly on a PDP ticket during the 2005 Tongatapu by-election.
The PDP was legally registered on July 1 2005, being the first Tongan party to do so.
