| Description | One time leftist revolutionary party turned center-right active among nationals of the Pool region of the Congo. Party was founded by the late Bernard Kolélas, a Congo Prime Minister in 1997 and mayor of Brazzaville. Kolélas, involved in multiple subversive plots and coup efforts from the 1960s until the 90s (and often imprisoned for them), formed his party secretly in 1989, joining together many personalities in the Congo underground. When multi-party elections were legalized in 1990, the MCDDI briefly became the nation's largest party. Proving unwilling to control his involvement in revolutionary and coup activity, Kolélas ultimately found himself on the losing side of a Civil War in 1997, when Denis Sassou Nguesso seized power with the assistance of the Angolan government. The event forced Kolélas' exile and a ban of his party until Kolélas returned in 2005 to plea forgiveness, joining the dictatorial regime of Sassou-Nguesso on April 24, 2007. The MCDDI has since expanded its Pool basin base among the Lari tribe to people living in the southwestern districts of Brazzaville. The MCDDI is one of eight government "controlled" (contrôlée) opposition formations [Mouvement Congolais pour la Démocratie et le Développement Intégral (MCDDI)]. |
