Rally of Democratic Forces in Chad
The Rally of Democratic Forces in Chad (French: Rassemblement des forces démocratiques au Tchad) is a political party in Chad, part of the ruling coalition in 2001.[1]
It was reportedly led by either Bernard Mbangadou[2] or Djembété Le Soromian[3] in 1994, after the latter served as minister under Hissène Habré. The leniency shown by its manifesto for the Tombalbaye government led it to be described as a southern-aligned political party.[3] Le Soromian was later the leader of the similarly named Chadian Democratic Rally, signatory of the Cotonou peace agreements in 2007.[4]
In the 2002 parliamentary elections, the party won 1 out of 155 seats according to IPU Parline.[5]
The party was under the leadership of Alexandre Begue, also reported as "Begne Alexandre", from at least 2008 to 2014.[6][7]
In October 2023, the party joined the Cadre national de concertation des partis politiques (CNCP).[8]
