Some scholars classify its ideology in the 21st century as social democracy, with the party shifting from a broadly socialist ideology in the 1990s. Founded in 1980, PT governed at the federal level in a coalition government with several other parties from 1 January 2003 to 31 August 2016.

The party came back to power with Lula's victory in the 2022 presidential election.

Parliamentary elections were held in Haiti on 9 August 2015, with a second round initially planned for 25 October.
