In August 2023, the party dissolved itself.[4]
Ideology
The party advocates the reform of society on the principles of democratic socialism, the restructuring of the economy on the basis of private and state ownership of the means of production, including land. In agriculture it recognizes the forms: production cooperative, joint-stock company, collective and state farm, peasant farm and small enterprise.
History
It was created in 1992 as the United Agrarian Democratic Party of Belarus (Russian: Объединенная аграрно-демократическая партия Беларуси, romanized: Obyedinennaya agrarno-demokraticheskaya partiya Belarusi; Belarusian: Аб'яднанная аграрно-демократическая партия Беларуси, romanized: Abjadnannaja ahrarno-diemokratičjeskaja partija Bielarusi).[5] On 28 January 1994, it changed its name into Agrarian Party.
At the legislative election in 1995, the party obtained 33 out of 198 seats.
The 1996 constitutional crisis split the party into those who supported
Syamyon Sharetski did not recognize the results of the 1996 constitutional referendum and did not submit to the decision to dissolve the Supreme Soviet. In July 1999, as the head of the legitimate legislative body recognized by the West, Syamyon Sharetski was adopted in Lithuania, where he stayed for two years. In July 2001, Syamyon Sharetski left for the United States and ceased his political activities.
On September 22, 1999, the party was re-registered.
The IV Party Congress at the end of March 2000 announced its intention to cooperate with the authorities and elected Mikhail Shimansky as its chairman.
On June 12, 2009, the Ministry of Justice of Belarus issued a written warning in connection with the fact that the party did not submit information about its activities to the Ministry.
