Aleksander Kwaśniewski was a member of the Social Democracy of the Republic of Poland (SdRP) and not Democratic Left Alliance (SLD) in 1995

Sources taken from the Democratic Left Alliance article clearly indicate that the SLD was not a party but an alliance from 1991 to 1999 so it had no formal membership. The Polish Wikipedia page has Kwasniewski as a member of the SdRP for this election. I don't understand how for so many years this error has gone unchecked. --Wroclaw2468 17:33, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sources state that he was an SLD candidate/president, e.g. this, this, this or this. There are a lot more. Number 5 7 18:07, 14 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not contesting if he was a candidate of the SLD. I am saying that the SLD did not exist as a party in 1995 and so he was not a member of it. The SLD was a coalition made up of many left-wing parties including SdRP which Kwaśniewski was a part of. In future articles the party of the candidate is in the info box and not the coalition. --Wroclaw2468 4:24, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
