A touch display panel and a method for driving the touch display panel. The touch display panel including: a substrate; first scan lines and data lines; sub-pixels arranged in an array; touch sensing electrodes disposed in an array, each of which corresponds to the sub-pixels; first control switches, wherein each of the touch sensing electrodes is connected to at least one of the data lines via one of the first control switches. When in a touch state, the first control switch is turned on, so that the at least one of the data lines is configured to provide a touch signal to the touch sensing electrode corresponding to the data lines; and when in a display state, the first control switch is turned off, so that each of the data lines is configured to provide a display signal to the sub-pixel corresponding to the data line.
