The Congolese Movement for Democracy and Integral Development (Mouvement Congolais pour la Démocratie et le Développement Intégral) is a political party in the Republic of the Congo, led by Bernard Kolélas.
The party was founded by Kolélas; its statutes were deposited at the Ministry of the Interior on August 3, 1989.[1] Kolélas was the MCDDI's candidate in the August 1992 presidential election, in which he placed second behind Pascal Lissouba of the Pan-African Union for Social Democracy (UPADS).
The MCDDI and the Congolese Labour Party (PCT) of President Denis Sassou Nguesso signed an agreement on April 24, 2007 to form an alliance for the 2007 parliamentary election as well as subsequent local, senatorial, and presidential elections.[2][3] In the parliamentary election, held on June 24 and August 5, 2007, the party won 11 out of 137 seats.[4]
