The Ethiopian Social Democratic Party (Amharic: ኢትዮጵያ ማህበረ-ዴሞክራሲ ፌደራላዊ ፓርቲ, ESDP) is a political party in Ethiopia. As of 2005[update] the leaders of the ESDP are chairman Beyene Petros, vice chairman Mulu Meja, and secretary Alema Koira.
During the 2005 elections, which were held in 15 May of that year, the party was part of the United Ethiopian Democratic Forces, which won 52 out of 527 seats in the Council of People's Representatives.
Beyene Petros announced in February 2006 that the party would change its name from Ethiopian Social Democratic Federal Party to the Ethiopian Social Democratic Party, emphasizing its connections with the European Social democratic movement.[1]
