Founded in 1994 by Abdulmajid Dostiev as the People's Party of Tajikistan, the seat of the party is located in the Palace of Unity in Dushanbe, the capital of Tajikistan.[1] Since April 1998, the leader of the party has been the President of Tajikistan, Emomali Rahmon.

According to the party's charter, the PDPT is aimed at creating a "sovereign, democratic, secular, socially-oriented and unitary state with a stable economy". The statute also refers to "hopes for improving the well-being of society, protecting the interests of citizens, regardless of their social status, nationality or religious preferences".[2][3] The party stands for a secular state and society and is also considered to be Tajik nationalist, statist and authoritarian.[citation needed]
