The Democratic Party (Indonesian: Partai Demokrat, lit. 'Democrats' Party', sometimes abbreviated to PD) is a centre to centre-right nationalist political party in Indonesia. Currently, it holds 44 seats in the House of Representatives. It is led by Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, the son of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who served as the President of Indonesia from 2004 to 2014.
Founded in September 2001 as the political vehicle of Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, the party gained its initial parliamentary representation following the 2004 legislative election, and SBY was elected as president. It then became one of the major parties in SBY's governing coalition. In 2009, the party assumed power by winning the majority of votes in the legislative election and became the ruling and largest party in the DPR, with SBY re-elected for his second term. In 2014, the party performed poorly in the legislative election, losing half of its seats in the DPR and subsequently served as the opposition to the Joko Widodo (Jokowi) administration. In the 2020 party congress, AHY was elected as the chairman. In 2024, it joined the government coalition and AHY was appointed as the Minister of Agrarian Affairs and Spatial Planning.
