Democratic Renewal Party (Angola)

The Democratic Renewal Party (Partido de Renovação Democrática, PRD) is a political party in Angola. Founded in 1991, it emerged during the period of democratization and multi-party politics following the end of the Angolan Civil War and the abandonment of Marxism-Leninism by the ruling MPLA.

The PRD advocates for democratic governance, social justice, and economic development within Angola. The party has participated in several national elections, including legislative and presidential polls. While it has never achieved significant electoral success, it has consistently sought to represent the interests of Angolan citizens, often focusing on issues related to corruption, poverty, and human rights.

The PRD's support base is primarily located in certain regions of Angola, and its influence has generally been limited compared to the larger political forces of the MPLA and UNITA. The party has faced challenges common to many smaller parties in Angola, including limited resources and visibility. It continues to be a registered political entity and participates in the ongoing political discourse within the country. Its leader and specific policies may vary over time. Further research into current leadership and specific policy platforms would be necessary to provide the most up-to-date information.
