History

The PChD was established in

Senate.[2]

The party joined forces with the Christian National Union for the 1993 parliamentary elections, which they contested as the Catholic Electoral Committee "Homeland" but failed to win a seat.[2] In 1996 the party joined the centre-right Solidarity Electoral Action, which went on to win the 1997 parliamentary elections, with PChD taking seven of the alliance's 201 seats.

In July 1999 an agreement was reached with the leader of Movement for the Republic to merge to form a new party. The Polish Christian Democratic Agreement was subsequently established the following September.
