Development
After the 2014 municipal elections, Peoples' Democratic Party and the pro-Kurdish Peace and Democracy Party (BDP) were re-organised in a joint structure. On 28 April 2014, the entire parliamentary caucus of BDP joined HDP, whereas BDP was assigned exclusively to representatives on the local administration level.[3][4] The BDP has been said to be more hardline, arguably with closer PKK links, than its parent HDP.[5]
At the 3rd Congress of BDP on 11 July 2014, the name of the party was changed to the Democratic Regions Party and a new structure restricting the activities on the local/regional government level was adopted.[6]
On 30 November 2019, Saliha Aydeniz became the Co-Chair of the party.[7]
On November 12, 2023, Çiğdem Kılıçgün Uçar and Keskin Bayındır were elected as the new co-Chairpersons of the Democratic Regions Party.[8]
