Democratic Social Party
The Democratic Social Party (, PDS) was a conservative Brazilian political party. It was established in 1979 as a continuation of the National Renewal Alliance (ARENA), the political wing of the military during the 1965–79 military dictatorship, at a time in which the country was moving away from authoritarianism.

Presidential elections were held in Brazil in 1989, with the first round on November 15 and a second round on December 17.
