Young Democratic-Progressive Party

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Young Democratic-Progressive Party (Macedonian: Млада демократско-прогресивна странка, Mlada Demokratsko-Progresivna Stranska, MDPS) was a political party in Macedonia led by Risto Ivanov.

History[edit]

The party contested the 1990 parliamentary elections, at a time when Macedonia was still part of Yugoslavia. In some areas it ran in coalition with the Union of Reform Forces (SRS), with the alliance winning six seats. In others it ran with the Socialist Party, winning one seat.[1]

In 1991 it merged with the SRS,[2] which was renamed Reform Forces in Macedonia–Liberal Party, eventually becoming the Liberal Party of Macedonia.
