Liberal Democratic Party (Valenzuela)

The Liberal Democratic Party of Valenzuela (Spanish: Partido Liberal Democrático de Valenzuela) is a major progressive centre-left political party in Valenzuela and is one of the five contemporary political parties represented in the unicameral National Assembly, alongside the Liberal Party (LIB), the Lucha de Valenzuelanos Democráticos (LVD), the People's Democratic Alternative (PDA), and the Conservative Party (CONS). In all general elections since 1967, the LDP has been in power almost continuously except from 1997 to 2002. Since the 2017 general election, it holds 54 seats in the unicameral National Assembly.

Positioned on the centre-left of Valenzuelan politics, the LDP is ideologically socially and economically liberal. The party generally favours free-market economics, having turned Valenzuela's economy into one of the world's freest and most open, but has at times engaged in state interventionism reminiscent of welfare capitalist policies. Socially, it supports communitarianism and civic nationalism, with the cohesion of the country's main ethnic groups of the European, African, Asian into a united Valenzuelan national identity forming many of its policies.
