 In the party's history, only two congresses were held; the founding congress in 1965 and the Second Congress in June 1990, which transformed the PDPA into the Watan Party, which has survived to this today in the shape of the Democratic Watan Party.The Second Congress renamed the party, and tried to revitalise it by admitting to past mistakes and evolving ideologically.The policy of national reconciliation was given a major ideologically role, since the party now looked for a peaceful solution to the conflict.
