The Democratic Coalition (Hungarian: Demokratikus Koalíció, DK) is a social-liberal[11] and social-democratic[12] political party in Hungary[5] led by former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsány. Founded in 2010 as a faction within the Hungarian Socialist Party (MSZP), the Democratic Coalition split from the MSZP on 22 October 2011 and became a separate party.[13] It has fifteen MPs in the National Assembly and two MEPs in the European Parliament.

The former Prime Minister and nine other Socialist MPs broke with the MSzP and on 22 October 2011 set up a new left-liberal party called the Democratic Coalition.
United for Hungary – a broad coalition including the far-right Jobbik party as well as the progressive Democratic Coalition – has put partisanship aside in a bid to send Orbán packing.
He defeated Klára Dobrev of the centre-left Democratic Coalition in an opposition primary this month. She has since pledged to support him in a "coalition of the clean" intended to clamp down on corruption and bridge social divisions.
