Pekka Anglosad

Pekka Morten Anglosad (17 June 1805 - 23 March 1872) was a Dryicoran politician and social reformer who founded the Socialist Party of Dryicor in 1844 and served as its first leader, becoming the first SDP Prime Minister after winning the 1847 general election.

Anglosad left Keskusta after what he saw as their increasing disservice for the working classes and formed the SPD after being inspired by the growing labour movement on the continent. After the incumbent DAP was forced to go into government with Anglosad's increasingly popular SPD, he forced the DAP to abolish all property limits as a requirement for governing. The DAP did so, and for the next election in 1847 the vote was extended to an estimated 450,000 Dryicorans, which propelled him to power in government with the DAP.

Anglosad resigned as Prime Minister in 1851, believing that he had done his job in enfranchising the working classes. He passed the baton to Aatto Sivertsen but remained active in the SPD, becoming its chairman until his death in 1872.
