Political party in Benin From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Rally for Democracy and Progress (French: Rassemblement pour la Démocratie et le Progrès, RDP) is a political party in Benin.
The party was established in 1995 as the Rally for Democracy and Pan-Africanism (Rassemblement pour la Démocratie et le Panafricanisme, RDP),[1] and was led by Dominique Houngninou.[2] In the parliamentary elections that year it received 1.4% of the vote, winning one seat,[3] taken by Houngninou.[4] In the 1999 elections its vote share fell to 0.9%, but Houngninou retained his seat.[5][6]
By the 2003 elections it had become the Rally for Democracy and Progress. It joined the Presidential Movement (MP), with Houngninou again retaining his seat as the MP won a total of 52 seats.[7][8]
