The African People's Bloc (Шаблон:Lang-fr, BPA) was a political party in French Dahomey.
History
The party was established in 1946 by Justin Ahomadégbé-Tomêtin and Émile Poisson due to their dissatisfaction with the policies of the Dahomeyan Progressive Union (UPD).[1] In the 1946–47 General Council elections the party won 6 of the 30 seats, finishing second to the Dahomeyan Progressive Union;[2] Ahomadégbé-Tomêtin and Poisson were both elected. The party failed to win a seat in the French National Assembly in the 1951 elections, but won four seats in the 1952 Territorial Assembly elections.[3]
In 1955 the party merged with the UPD to form the Dahomeyan Democratic Union.[4]
