The Patriotic Front for Progress (French: Front Patriotique pour le Progrès) is a political party in the Central African Republic.
The FPP strongly opposed President Ange-Félix Patassé. In 2002, the party suspended its participation in the opposition coalition.[1]
In the presidential election held on 13 March 2005, FPP candidate Abel Goumba won 2.5% of the vote;[2] in the concurrent parliamentary election, the FPP won two out of 105 seats in the National Assembly.[3] Goumba ran for a seat in the National Assembly but was defeated;[4] his wife Anne-Marie won a seat, however.[4][5]
Goumba's son Alexandre was elected by acclamation to succeed him as President of the FPP on March 5, 2006 at an extraordinary general assembly of the party.[6] This was, however, followed by an internal dispute; ultimately the Council of State recognized the legitimacy of Alexandre Goumba's election on May 16, 2008, and he was invested as FPP President on October 4, 2008.[7]
The FPP is an observer member of the Socialist International.[8]
