Democratic Renewal Party (Brazil)

The Democratic Renewal Party (Portuguese: Partido Renovação Democrática, PRD) is a political party in Brazil, announced on 26 October 2022 as a fusion of Patriota and the Brazilian Labour Party (PTB). Both parties didn't reach the electoral threshold in the 2022 general election. Consequently, they would not have access to resources of the partisan budget nor the right of political propaganda in radio and television.
