The party was established in March 1991 as the
Polish Christian Democratic Forum (
Polskie Forum Chrześcijańsko-Demokratyczne, PFChD) as an initiative of the
PAX Association and the
Polish Catholic-Social Association. It contested
1991 parliamentary elections as part of the
Christian Democracy alliance that won five seats.
Tadeusz Lasocki was the party's sole MP. In 1993 the party was renamed the
Party of Polish Democracy. It joined the
Coalition for the Republic for the
parliamentary elections that year, but the alliance failed to win a seat. It was part of
Solidarity Electoral Action in the
1997 elections. It held one of the alliance's 201 seats in the
Sejm, with
Waldemar Pawłowski being its only MP. The party was dissolved in 1999, with most members joining the
Christian National Union. ==References==
