Nigerien Democratic Front

The Nigerien Democratic Front (French: Front démocratique nigérien, abbreviated FDN) was a political party in Niger. The party was founded by Zodi Ikhia and his followers on March 6, 1957. It assembled the remainders of the Union of Nigerien Independents and Sympathizers. FDN was the Nigerien affiliate of the African Convention, an inter-territorial political party led by Léopold Sédar Senghor.[1][2]

FDN published the party journal L'Unité ('Unity').[1]

The party contested the March 1957 Nigerien Territorial Assembly election, but failed to win any seat.[2]
