Statutes of the Lithuanian Christian Democrats, 1990-2007

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 Political Party "Homeland Union – Lithuanian Christian Democrats" (TS-LKD).
