The Social Democratic Party of Croatia (Template:Lang-hr or SDP) is a social-democratic political party and the largest party of the Croatian centre-left. The SDP is one of the two major political parties in Croatia, along with the centre-right Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ).
Organization
The party's first and longest-serving president was Ivica Račan. The current party president is Davor Bernardić, who was elected in a leadership election on 26 November 2016 following Zoran Milanović. Apart from the president and four vice-presidents (Zlatko Komadina, Peđa Grbin, Boris Lalovac, Rajko Ostojić), the main governing bodies of the party include the party presidency (consisting of six senior members), the head committee (Glavni odbor) and the supervisory committee (Nadzorni odbor).
Election history
|
The following is a summary of SDP's results in legislative elections for the Croatian parliament. The "Votes won" and "Percentage" columns include sums of votes won by coalitions SDP had been part of. After preferential votes were added to the electoral system, the votes column also includes the statistic of the total number of such votes received by candidates of SDP on coalition lists. The "Total seats won" column includes sums of seats won only by SDP in election. Column "Change" shows how many seats SDP has gained or lost.

Party presidents since 1990
The chart below shows a timeline of the social democratic presidents and the Prime Ministers of Croatia. The left bar shows all the president of the SDP, and the right bar shows the corresponding make-up of the Croatian government at that time. The red (SDP) and blue (HDZ) colours correspond to which party led the government. The last names of the respective prime ministers are shown, the Roman numeral stands for the cabinets.
Notes
^a Neven Mimica has been elected as SDP MEP but appointed to be one of the commissioners in the European commission, so although SDP won 3 seats on general elections it de facto has 2 MEP while SDP gave Mimica's seat to Ivan Jakovčić from IDS as a result of the coalition agreement.
^b Kukuriku coalition in which SDP was a senior partner won 81 seats all together.
^c According to constitutional amendments introduced in 2000, the President is obliged to freeze his political party membership during his term in office.
