The Liberal Democratic Party of Moldova (Romanian: Partidul Liberal Democrat din Moldova, PLDM) is a conservativepolitical party in Moldova. The party is led by Vlad Filat, who was Prime Minister of Moldova from 2009 to 2013. With 21 seats in the Moldovan Parliament, it is the largest of the three parties that make up the centre-right Political Alliance for a European Moldova government, in which party member Chiril Gaburici is Prime Minister.
The party's founding congress was held on 8 December 2007 and Vlad Filat was elected as president. The initiative group of the party was initially centered on Filat, previously a prominent member of the Democratic Party of Moldova, who was disappointed with the direction taken by that political party under Dumitru Diacov's leadership. Soon, a large number of local branches of the Christian Democratic Popular Party, disappointed with Iurie Rosca's policy of cooperation with the Communist Party of Moldova, joined PLDM en masse. The party attracted a large number of prominent members of civil society.
At its first election, in April 2009, PLDM won 15 seats, which increased to 18 three months later, after which Filat became the Prime Minister, leading the Alliance for European Integration (AIE). In November 2010, the PLDM jumped to 32 seats, becoming the dominant non-Communist party. The AIE was replaced by the Pro-European Coalition in 2013, when Iurie Leancă replaced Filat as Prime Minister, with Filat remaining as the party chairman.
