Kurdistan Democratic Solution Party

The Kurdistan Democratic Solution Party or PÇDK (Kurdish: Partî Çareserî Dîmukratî Kurdistan), is an illegal political party active in Iraq's Kurdistan Region, founded in 2002. It is part of the Kurdistan Communities Union (KCK), along with the larger Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK).

It has not been as successful as its sister parties, such as the PKK in Turkish Kurdistan and the Democratic Union Party (PYD) in Syrian Kurdistan. The Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) closed down PÇDK headquarters and the party was banned in the Kurdistan Region, but it continued to operate.

The party contested the 2005 and 2009 Kurdistan Region parliamentary elections but failed to win any seats.

The party likewise participated in the parliamentary elections of Kurdistan held on 21 September 2013, winning 3,605 votes (0.18%, no representatives elected). In the approach to the elections the PÇDK had been denied a license to operate due to pressure from Turkey, but in the end they were able to take part in the elections.

On 20 May 2014, members had been taken into custody by security forces of the KDP during operations against different opposition organisations in the cities of Erbil, Dohuk, and Zakho. The operations were justified by the banning of the party some days before, after a demonstration in front of the Kurdistan Region Parliament organised by the PÇDK to commemorate a massacre of PKK members by the KDP in Erbil in 1997, during the Iraqi Kurdish Civil War. PÇDK dissolved itself in 2015 and it was succeeded by Tevgera Azadi.
