Patriotic Front for Progress

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Patriotic Front for Progress (French: Front Patriotique pour le Progrès) is a political party in the Central African Republic.

In the 2005 election, on 13 March and 8 May 2005, FPP candidate Abel Goumba won 2.5% of the vote in the presidential election.[1] and the FPP won two out of 105 seats in the National Assembly.[2] Goumba ran for a seat in the National Assembly but was defeated;[3] his wife Anne-Marie won a seat, however.[3][4]

Goumba's son Alexandre was elected to succeed him as President of the FPP on March 5, 2006 at an extraordinary general assembly of the party.[5]

The FPP is an observer member of the Socialist International.[6]
