Founded in 2002, the party was formed in the aftermath of an initial deregistration of the Sarawak National Party (SNAP). The party is a founding and principal component of the Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) which governs the state of Sarawak.
History
The party was founded in the wake of the deregistration of the Sarawak National Party (SNAP) in November 2002. Initially named as the Sarawak Progressive Democratic Party (SPDP), it was governed by a faction aligned to the then Chief Minister of Sarawak, Abdul Taib Mahmud, led by William Mawan Ikom. A leadership crisis between Mawan Ikom and Tiong King Sing factions led William Mawan Ikom and entire SPDP state assemblymen to leave SPDP in 2013 for newly founded party TERAS. Tiong King Sing who was then member of Parliament then took control of SPDP.
In 2017, the party rebranded as the Progressive Democratic Party, having planned to expand to certain West Malaysian states, including Selangor, Negeri Sembilan and Johor (where it has established 6 divisions in 2017), although the party remains based and mostly active in Sarawak. It is one of the former component parties of the Barisan Nasional coalition. Following the fall of BN in the 2018 general election, the aftermath of a meeting between Sarawak-based BN component parties on 12 June 2018 resulted in all parties, including the PDP, to leave the coalition. The parties, led by Parti Pesaka Bumiputera Bersatu (PBB), decided to form a Sarawak-based coalition named Gabungan Parti Sarawak (GPS) approximately one month after the election.
In April 2024, Parti Sarawak Bersatu (PSB) was merged into PDP and its members were accepted into PDP, including 3 state assemblymen.
Electoral history
At the 2011 Sarawak state election, PDP won six out of the eight seats it contested. In the 2013 General Election, all 4 of the party's candidates won their respective seats, including William Mawan himself, where he won in Saratok against Ali Biju of PKR.
At the 2021 Sarawak state election, PDP won five out of the six seats it contested.
