The Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People (French: Mouvement pour la Libération du Peuple Centrafricain) is a political party in the Central African Republic. It was established in Paris in 1979 by former prime minister Ange-Félix Patassé as a Central African Republic opposition movement. It called for the replacement of President David Dacko by a national council authorised to establish 'provisional government of national unity'.
Patassé was president of the country from his election in 1993 to his ouster in 2003. At the last elections, on 13 March (first round) and 8 May 2005 (second round), the party backed Martin Ziguélé, Patassé's last prime minister (Patassé himself, in exile, was barred from running). Ziguélé won 23.5 % of the vote in the first round and 35.4 % in the second round. The party itself won 11 out of 105 seats in the National Assembly.
