List of members of the SED-PDS executive committee (1989–1990)
5 days after the last meeting of the Central Committee of the SED on December 3, 1989, at which it resigned as a whole, an extraordinary SED party congress took place on December 8 and 9, which was continued on December 16 and 17, 1989. On this Gregor Gysi was elected as the new party chairman. A new leadership body, now again a party executive, as it was between 1946 and 1950, was elected. In addition, the party renamed itself SED-PDS.
