&lt;p> The political party Lithuanian Christian Democrats (LKD) was a Lithuanian political party that has been active from 1989 to 2008.&lt;/p> 
&lt;p> The party’s predecessor – the Lithuanian Christian Democratic Party (LKDP) – was a historic Lithuanian political party, which was established in 1917. During the first years of the restored Lithuanian state in 1918, the LKDP actively participated in political life and was the country’s main ruling political party until 1926. After losing the 1926 Seimas (Lithuanian Parliament) elections, the LKDP supported the 1926 coup d’état. However, this did not restore its former political influence, and, like other Lithuanian parties, its activities were subsequently restricted, and in 1936 all parties were banned, with the sole exception of the Lithuanian Nationalist Union. In 1940, following the occupation of Lithuania by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, only the Lithuanian Communist Party was a legal political force. As the occupation regime eased, the first steps toward the restoration of the LKDP activities were taken even before the restoration of Lithuania's independence in 1990: on February 16, 1989, an initiative group issued a declaration on the re-establishment of the LKDP, while the re-establishing conference took place on January 27–28, 1990. The first split within the party occurred even before the re-establishing conference, when part of the initiators of the LKDP’s re-establishment founded the Lithuanian Christian Democratic Union (LKDS). The second split took place on April 29, 2000, with the establishment of the Modern Christian Democratic Union. After a decade-long confrontation, on May 12, 2001, the LKDP and the LKDS merged into a single political force, naming the united party the LKD. However, this merger prompted the third split, as part of the former LKDP members who opposed this decision established the Lithuanian Christian Democracy Party on January 28, 2003. On May 17, 2008, the LKD and the Homeland Union (Conservatives, Political Prisoners and the Exiled, Christian Democrats) merged into the &lt;a href=" https://hdl.handle.net/21.12137/N7MOAD" target="_blank"> Political Party "Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats"&lt;/a>  (TS-LKD).</dcterms:description><dcterms:subject>Social Sciences</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>political parties</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>organizations</dcterms:subject><dcterms:subject>political groups</dcterms:subject><dcterms:language>English</dcterms:language><dcterms:language>Lithuanian</dcterms:language><dcterms:date>2025-10-29</dcterms:date><dcterms:contributor>Žvaliauskas, Giedrius (Research Group – Civil Society and Sustainability, Faculty of Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities, Kaunas University of Technology, Lithuania [ORCID: 0000-0001-8970-0756])</dcterms:contributor><dcterms:dateSubmitted>2025-08-01</dcterms:dateSubmitted><dcterms:temporal>1990</dcterms:temporal><dcterms:temporal>2007</dcterms:temporal><dcterms:temporal>1999</dcterms:temporal><dcterms:temporal>2007</dcterms:temporal><dcterms:type>Textual data</dcterms:type><dcterms:source>&lt;a href="https://vocabularies.cessda.eu/vocabulary/DataSourceType?code=RegistersRecordsAccountsHistorical" target="_blank"> Registers/Records/Accounts: Historical&lt;/a></dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Statute of the LKDP, adopted on January 27–28, 1990</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Statute of the LKDP, adopted on December 28, 1991</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Statute of the LKDP, adopted on August 29, 1992</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Statute of the LKDP, adopted on April 24, 1993</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Statute of the LKDP, adopted on November 18, 1995</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Statute of the LKDP, adopted on September 28, 1997</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Statute of the LKD, adopted on May 12, 2001</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Statute of the LKD, adopted on June 11, 2005</dcterms:source><dcterms:source>Statute of the LKD, adopted on June 2, 2007</dcterms:source><dcterms:spatial>Lithuania</dcterms:spatial><dcterms:rights>&lt;p>The data is available to the users of the LiDA Dataverse repository under the &lt;a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0" target="_blank">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International licence (CC BY-SA 4.0)&lt;/a>, if not indicated otherwise.
