The Conservative-Democratic Party (Romanian: Partidul Conservator-Democrat, PCD) was a political party in Romania.

History

The party was established on 3 February 1908 by Take Ionescu.

In the 1920 elections it won 17 seats in the Chamber of Deputies and four seats in the Senate.[1] However, it was reduced to just three Chamber seats in the 1922 elections, which also saw it lose representation in the Senate.[2]

Ionescu's death in June 1922 led to the collapse of the party, and it subsequently merged into the Romanian National Party on 21 November.
