Party was left unregistered in 2004 , when regime claimed that reelection of party leader, Mikałaj Statkevič , has been conducted with violation. Some party members formed Belarusian Social Democratic Party (Assembly) , which was registered. At the last Legislative Elections , 13-17 october 2004, the party was part of the Democratic Centrist Coalition that didn't secure any seat. These elections fell according to the OSCE /ODIHR Election Observation Mission {Link without Title} significantly short of OSCE commitments. Universal principles and constitutionally guaranteed rights of expression, association and assembly were seriously challenged, calling into question the Belarusian authorities’ willingness to respect the concept of political competition on a basis of equal treatment. According to this mission principles of an inclusive democratic process, whereby citizens have the right to seek political office without discrimination, candidates to present their views without obstruction, and voters to learn about them and discuss them freely, were largely ignored.
