Civic Forum (Шаблон:Lang-fr, FC) is a political party in the Central African Republic led by Timothée Malendoma.[1]

History

Established in 1991,[2] the party was originally a member of the Concentration of Democratic Forces alliance, but was suspended in August 1992 due to its participation in the "grand national debate". On 4 December 1992 its leader Malendoma was appointed Prime Minister, but he was later sacked by President André Kolingba on 26 February 1993.[3]

In the 1993 general elections the party nominated Malendoma as its candidate for the presidency. Malendoma finished sixth out of eight candidates in the first round with 2% of the vote. In the National Assembly elections the party won a single seat.[4]

In the next parliamentary elections in 1998 the Civic Forum was part of the Union of Forces for Peace (UFAP), which opposed President Ange-Félix Patassé. The party won a single seat, and UFAP gained a majority of 55 of the 109 seats in the National Assembly. However, the ruling Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People was able to form a government after the defection of a UFAP MP.[5]
