The Nigerien Alliance for Democracy and Progress ( French : Alliance nigérienne pour la démocratie et le progrès-Zaman Lahiya , abbreviation: ANDP-Zaman Lahiya ) is a political party in Niger .

Alignment

The Nigerien Alliance for Democracy and Progress is considered to be a traditionalist party that is ethnically rooted among the Zarma of the city of Dosso . Its first two party leaders, Adamou Moumouni Djermakoye and Moussa Moumouni Djermakoye, came from a branch of the Zarmakoye (Djermakoye), the traditional ruling house of the Zarma of Dosso. Zaman Lahiya , the party's nickname, comes from the Hausa language and means “to live in peace”.

history

Second republic

The Nigerien Alliance for Democracy and Progress was founded on February 27, 1992. It emerged as a split from the National Development Society (MNSD-Nassara) and goes back to the Club of Friends of Adamou Moumouni Djermakoye (French: Club des Amis de Moumouni Adamou Djermakoye , abbreviation: CAMAD), which was part of the MNSD-Nassara in 1991 Adamou Moumouni supported Djermakoye in his efforts to become party leader, but could not prevail against Mamadou Tandja .

Third Republic

In the presidential elections of 1993 , Mahamane Ousmane from the Nigerien Party for Democracy and Socialism (PNDS-Tarayya) won, Adamou Moumouni Djermakoye came fourth. In the parliamentary elections of 1993 , ANDP-Zaman Lahiya received twelve of the 83 seats in the National Assembly . She was associated with the PNDS-Tarayya and the CDS-Rahama in the nine-party coalition Alliance of Forces of Change , which was represented by 50 MPs in the National Assembly and ousted the MNSD-Nassara from power. Adamou Moumouni Djermakoye became President of the National Assembly, which he remained until 1994.

In the parliamentary elections of 1995 , ANDP-Zaman Lahiya lost three seats and was now represented with nine out of 83 seats in the National Assembly. When the PNDS-Tarayya left the Alliance of Forces of Change and allied with the MNSD-Nassara, the ANDP-Zaman Lahiya also followed suit.

Fourth republic

President Mahamane Ousmane was overthrown in 1996 by a coup d'etat by Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara , who was elected as his successor in the 1996 presidential election . The official election result brought the presidential candidate Adamou Moumouni Djermakoye a fifth (and last) place. In the interim government under Prime Minister Boukary Adji , the ANDP-Zaman Lahiya was represented by Minister of Labor Seïni Ali Gado . Unlike most other parties, the ANDP-Zaman Lahiya did not boycott the parliamentary elections of 1996 and was re-elected to the National Assembly with eight out of 83 seats. But soon she turned away from the authoritarian plans of Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara, who was killed in a 1999 coup.

Fifth Republic

The 1999 presidential elections brought victory to MNSD Nassara candidate Mamadou Tandja. Adamou Moumouni Djermakoye finished fifth. In the parliamentary elections of 1999 , ANDP-Zaman Lahiya appeared as an ally of PNDS-Tarayya, but here too the MNSD-Nassara camp emerged victorious. The ANDP-Zaman Lahiya was only able to win four of the 83 parliamentary seats, making it the smallest party represented in the National Assembly for the first time in its history. The 2004 presidential elections were again won by Mamadou Tandja (MNSD-Nassara) and Adamou Moumouni Djermakoye again came in fifth.

In the parliamentary elections of 2004 the ANDP-Zaman Lahiya switched to the side of the MNSD-Nassara, which was also successful here, and received five out of 113 seats in the National Assembly. The party founder Adamou Moumouni Djermakoye died in June 2009.

Sixth Republic

When President Tandja and his MNSD-Nassara showed increasing authoritarian tendencies, the temporarily leaderless ANDP-Zaman Lahiya joined an opposition alliance that boycotted the 2009 parliamentary elections. President Mamadou Tandja was overthrown in a coup in February 2010. In June 2010 Adamou Moumouni Djermakoyes brother Moussa Moumouni Djermakoye was elected as the new party leader of the ANDP-Zaman Lahiya.

Seventh Republic

The 2011 presidential election won by Mahamadou Issoufou (PNDS-Tarayya) earned Moussa Moumouni Djermakoye sixth place. In the parliamentary elections of 2011 , the ANDP-Zaman Lahiya again entered into an alliance with the PNDS-Tarayya, which was victorious this time. The party has since been represented with eight of the 113 seats in the National Assembly. In the same year it formed an alliance with 32 other political parties and groups, which agreed on common principles and agreed to support the Mahamadou Issoufou government in its projects.

In the 2016 general election , ANDP-Zaman Lahiya won four out of 171 seats in the National Assembly. In the presidential elections of 2016 she supported the again victorious incumbent Mahamadou Issoufou. Moussa Moumouni Djermakoye also died in November 2017. Deputy Chairman Sani Ousmane took over the interim leadership of the party, which soon became divided , until Mining Minister Moussa Hassane Barazé was elected as the new party chairman in September 2018 .
