Democratic Progressive Party: Difference between revisions

=== Resurgence and Albanese's leadership ===

The party launched a comeback after the [[June 2025 Snap Parliamentary elections|June snap election]] and even re-entered government as part of [[Joe Rogan|Rogan]]’s [[rainbow coalition]]. This move was opposed by party leader Albanese, but he was pressured to accept the move by the party's centrist and center-left factions. The party distanced itself from the coalition under [[Anthony Albanese|Albanese]] after he managed to take more control of his party. The party left the coalition and formed the [[Popular Front]] with the [[Orchid Party]] and other small left wing parties. However, Albanese was ousted in a [[June 2025 Democratic Progressive Party leadership election|leadership challenge]] by former [[Prime Minister]] [[Tsai Ing-wen]], and the party left the Popular Front and re-entered the new [[National Unity Government]]. The party went back into opposition after the [[July 2025 general election|July elections]], opposing the controversial [[Escuela Cabinet]], and went dormant after the [[July coup]]. When the party returned to operation, it led [[August 2025 Constitutional referendum|the campaign]] against the [[Constitution of the Republic#Current constitution|new constitution]]. It became the Official Opposition to the [[Julani Cabinet]].
