history

The Nigerien Social Democratic Party emerged during the period of democratic upheaval after the military rule under Seyni Kountché . Its founding date is May 18, 1992. The first party leader of the PSDN-Alhéri was Mallam Adji Waziri . He was followed first by Gagara Gréma , then Kazelma Omar Taya in office. The three politicians came from the Diffa region in the east of the country. There the party has its domestic power. In the parliamentary elections of 1993 , the first since the introduction of the multiparty system , the PSDN-Alhéri won one of 83 seats in the National Assembly . He joined a party alliance directed against the former unity party MNSD-Nassara , which included the CDS-Rahama and the PNDS-Tarayya and which had a total of 50 members in the National Assembly. In the presidential elections of 1993 , PSDN Alhéri candidate Kazelma Omar Taya came seventh with 1.82 percent of the vote. The parliamentary elections of 1995 brought the party an increase to two of 83 seats. She was one of the supporters of President Mahamane Ousmane (CDS-Rahama), who was overthrown in a military coup in 1996. The subsequent parliamentary elections in 1996 were boycotted by the PSDN-Alhéri. In 2001 Issaka Labo took over the party leadership. Labo comes from the Maradi region . In the parliamentary elections of 2004 , the party managed to return to the National Assembly with one of 113 seats. She lost this seat again in the parliamentary elections in 2009 and has not been represented in parliament since then. The PSDN-Alhéri supported the MNSD-Nassara candidate Seini Oumarou in the presidential elections of 2011 , who, however, had to admit defeat to Mahamadou Issoufou of the PNDS-Tarayya. The PSDN-Alhéri then joined an alliance of parties in 2011 that promised to support the Issoufous government in its projects. In the 2016 parliamentary elections , the PSDN-Alhéri ran in an electoral alliance with the MNRD-Hankuri , which won six out of 171 seats in the National Assembly.
