Mouvement pour la Libération du Peuple centrafricain (dt. Movement for the Liberation of the people of Central Africa ; Engl .: Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People , MLPC) is a political party in the Central African Republic . She has had observer status with the Socialist International since 2008 and is also a member of the Progressive Alliance .

history

The party was founded on March 28, 1978 in Paris by former Prime Minister Ange-Félix Patassé as an opposition movement. She fought for the replacement of President David Dacko by a national council to form a "provisional government of national unity".

After the multi-party system was allowed again in the early 1990s, the party won the 1993 elections. Patassé was elected president and emerged victorious from the second round of elections against Abel Goumba with a share of 53 to 46% of the vote. In the parliamentary elections, the MLPC won 34 of the 85 seats in the Assemblée Nationale de la République Centrafricaine . In the 1998 parliamentary elections, the party received 47 out of 109 seats. The Alliance of Forces for Peace (UFAP), which was in opposition to Patassé, received a majority with a total of 55 seats. Nevertheless, the MLPC was able to form a government after a member of the UFAP resigned. Patassé won the 1999 first-round presidential election with 51% of the vote, but was ousted by a 2003 coup.

Elections were held again in 2005 and the leader of the coup, François Bozizé , triumphed over the MLPC candidate, Martin Ziguélé , in the second round of the presidential election. Patassé, who was still in exile at the time, was originally nominated but was banned from the elections due to ongoing proceedings regarding his administration. Although the MLPC emerged from the elections as the largest single party, it only won 11 seats, while the pro-Bozizé National Convergence Alliance "Kwa Na Kwa" won a total of 42 seats.

Ziguélé was elected president of the MLPC at an extraordinary party congress in June 2006, while Patassé was expelled from the party for a year. After one year, Ziguélé was confirmed for a three-year term (party congress from June 21 to 23, 2007). At this congress, Patassé's suspension was extended until the next regular congress and several other people were excluded from the party, including the former President of the National Assembly Luc Apollinaire Dondon Konamambaye .

In the 2011 elections, Ziguélé was nominated for the second time as a presidential candidate. In a field of five candidates, however, he only came third with 7% of the vote. In the parliamentary elections in 2011, the MLPC only had one seat in the National Assembly, and in 2016 it won seven seats.
