The Lebanese Democratic Party (Hizb al-democraty al-lubnany) (arabic:الحزب الديمقراطي اللبناني) is a Lebanese political party established by Lebanese leader Prince Talal Arslan in 2001. Prince Talal is the son of Druz leader L'Emir Magid Arslan and has presided the party ever since its establishment.
The Party is officially secular and it has members from all Lebanese sects, but the Lebanese Democratic Party enjoys most of its support from the Druze who support the Arslan family.
The party is part of the March 8 Alliance.
Arslan's LDP (Lebanese Democratic Party) is considered to be the rivals of the Jumblatt family's Progressive Socialist Party (part of March 14 Alliance).
The LDP has only reached the Lebanese parliament one time in 2000, and in 2009, HH. Talal Arslan won a seat in the Parliament representing the Aley district, and three others representing the Baabda district.
Prince Talal now represents four MPs:
-
- Himself!
- MP Fadi Al-Awar (representative of the Druze seat in Baabda district).
- MP Naji Gharios (representative of one of the Christian seats in Baabda district).
- MP Bilal Farhat (representative of one of the Shiit seats in Baabda district).
