In the elections of 2019, PSD participated as part of a coalition with AAK. PSD did not win any seats and many of its members, including Fisnik Ismaili, Dardan Sejdiu, and former president of the party Shpend Ahmeti resigned and left the party.

## Political position and ideology[edit]

According to its charter, the PSD is a social-democratic political party, which would position it on the center-left.

In the ongoing Arab-Israeli conflict, PSD position themselves as Pro-Palestinian & describe Israel on their website, as a "colonialist" & "terror state".[6]
