History

In the 2014 local elections, PDP candidate Wang Zhian was elected as a representative of the Yanshan Li area in Shilin District, Taipei, the first and only time the PDP held office.

In June 2016, nearly 70 percent of the PDP's candidates were graduates, lecturers, or professors from the Department of Psychology at Fu Jen Catholic University, while the rest were composed of representatives from workers' unions and LGBT rights groups.^{[citation needed]}
