The People's Democratic Party is one of the two major contemporary political parties in Nigeria,[3] along with its main rival, the All Progressives Congress.[4][3][5]
Its policies generally lie towards the centre-right of the political spectrum.[2] It won every presidential election between 1999 and 2011. Until the 2015 elections,[6] it was the governing party in the Fourth Republic, although sometimes amid a few controversial electoral circumstances.[7][3]
