history
On October 25, 1990, political opponents of the Moussa Traoré dictatorship united as ADEMA. This super-organization contains the following sub-organizations:
- The Sudanese Union ( Soudanaise-Rassemblement Démocratique Africain , US-RDA), party of the former Modibo Keïta
- The Malian Party for Revolution and Democracy ( le Parti malien pour la révolution et la démocratie , PMDR)
- The Malian Labor Party ( Parti malien du travail , PMT), a Marxist-Leninist organization
- The Malian democratic front ( le Front démocratique et populaire malien , FDPM), consisting mainly of Malian emigrants and political exiles
ADEMA also attracts many supporters without a priority political affiliation.
On May 25, 1991, after the regime of Moussa Traoré was overthrown by General Amadou Toumani Touré , ADEMA transformed into a political party and took on the name ADEMA-Parti Africain pour la Solidarité et la Justice .
In 1992, ADEMA-PASJ dominated the February and March elections and won 76 out of 116 seats in the Malian National Assembly. Your candidate for President, Alpha Oumar Konaré, became President of the Republic . ADEMA-PASJ continued in government for the following decade and Konaré was re-elected in 1997 after boycotting the elections.
At the end of Konaré's second legislative term, the ADEMA-PASJ split over the question of the successor to the president, with Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta leaving the party in October 2000 to found the movement for Mali . Former Prime Minister Mandé Sidibé also left the party to run for president.
In 2002 Soumaïla Cissé was the official presidential candidate of ADEMA-PASJ. He won 22.7% of the vote in the first round of the presidential election on April 28 and was defeated in the second round by Amadou Toumani Touré, who won 35.7% of the vote. In the general election on July 14, 2002, the party won 45 of 160 seats. 6 additional seats were won by partners in the Alliance for Republic and Democracy.
The ADEMA-PASJ put Touré up for re-election in the presidential election in April 2007 . However, this was rejected by the party's vice-president, Soumeylou Boubèye Maïga , who was consequently expelled from the party. In the parliamentary elections in July 2007 , ADEMA-PASJ won 51 out of 147 seats, more than any other party. From the total of 16 elected parties and individual candidates, the Union pour la république et la démocratie (URD) followed with 34, Indépendant with 15 and RPM with 11 seats.
The motto of the ADEMA-PASJ is “Work-Solidarity-Justice”; its symbol is the bee. The current party president is Tiémoko Sangaré (as of 2016).
The ADEMA-PASJ is a full member of the Socialist International .
