The Social Democratic Party of Lithuania (Lithuanian: Lietuvos socialdemokratų partija, abbr. LSDP) is a centre-left[2][3] and social democratic[4] political party in Lithuania.[5] Founded as an underground Marxist organisation in 1896, it is the oldest extant party in Lithuania. During the time of the Soviet Union, the party went into exile, emerging once again in Republic of Lithuania in 1989.
The party led a government in the unicameral Seimas, Lithuania's parliament from 2001 to 2008 and from 2012 to 2016. The party is a member of the Party of European Socialists (PES), Progressive Alliance,[6] and Socialist International.[7]
