Party for Democracy and Socialism

The Party for Democracy and Socialism (French: Parti pour la Démocratie et le Socialisme) was a registered political party in Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta). In 1999 the African Independence Party (PAI) split, and formed a parallel PAI. Since the PAI led by Touré, which joined the government, obtained the legal recognition of the name PAI, the other PAI registered PDS as its electoral party in 2002. At the 2007 parliamentary elections, the party again won 2 seats. In 2012 the party merged into Party for Democracy and Socialism/Metba.
