The Partia Chrześcijańskich Demokratów Polska (English: Polish Christian Democrat Party), also known as Partia Chadek Polska is a Christian democratic party in Poland-Lithuania. This party was started before the 2010 election as an alternative to the politically more radical and less accepting National Front for Poland. This party has found increasingly large support rapidly over the four years it has been in the Sejm, and many analysts have predicted that the Polish Christian Democrat Party will take over as opposition to the PPS, if not challenge for government. The party has yet to put forward a presidential candidate, but the Senate and presidential elections could prove to be a watershed moment for the PCDP.
In the 2014 Polish general elections, the PCDP took over as the majority party in both the Sejm and the Senate. The National Assembly will sit for the very first time on 1 January 2015 with the PCDP as its leaders. The PCDP also won the presidency, with President Karolina Kligenberg joining them and winning a landslide victory over her political opponents.
