The Democratic Party of Benin (French: Parti Démocratique du Bénin, PDB) was a political party in Benin.

## History[edit]

The party was established by Soulé Dankoro in 1996.[1] In the 1999 parliamentary elections the party received 1.9% of the vote, winning one seat,[2] with Dankoro becoming its sole MP.[3] Dankoro was the party's candidate for the 2001 presidential elections, but he received less than 1% of the vote, finishing seventh in a field of seventeen candidates. The party joined the New Alliance for the 2003 parliamentary elections,[4] with the alliance winning two seats.

Dankoro ran for the presidency on the party's ticket for a second time in 2006, but again received less than 1% of the vote, finishing fifteenth out of twenty-six candidates.
