Concentration of People's Forces

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Concentration of People's Forces (Concentración de Fuerzas Populares, CFP) is a centrist political party in Ecuador. At the legislative elections, 20 October 2002, the party won at least 1 out of 100 seats. The party may have won no seats at the last elections, held in 2006. Its presidential candidate, Jaime Damerval, won 0.4% of the vote.

Under the leadership of Assad Bucaram it was one of Ecuador's dominating parties in the 1960s and 1970s. Jaime Roldós of CFP, Bucaram's son-in-law, became the first freely-elected president of Ecuador after the military juntas in 1979.

Roldós died in a plane crash in 1981, and his party never again regained the presidency. Though the Bucaram family and members of Roldós's own family continued in politics, they joined other parties and the CFP was weakened.
