History

The party was founded by Jeanne-Marie Ruth-Rolland in 1991 after she was released from prison.[1][2] She won a seat in the National Assembly in the 1992 general elections, but the results were later annulled.[2] In the 1993 general elections Ruth-Rolland stood as the party's presidential candidate, finishing last in a field of eight with 1% of the vote. The party won a single seat in the National Assembly, with Ruth-Rolland winning a seat in Bakouma.

Ruth-Rolland led the party until her death in 1995, and was succeeded by Jacques Ngoli.[3][4] The party failed to win a seat in the 1998 parliamentary elections, and did not contest the 1999 presidential elections. The party also failed to win a seat in the 2005 general elections.

In 2010 the party joined the Presidential Majority alliance in preparation for the 2011 general elections.[5] The PRC nominated a single candidate for the 105 seats in the National Assembly,[6] and although the alliance won 11 seats, the PRC again failed to win a seat.

gollark: It's possible. Presumably if I used an encoding which it was actually possible for other people to decode this would not be the case.
gollark: Not really. If I have a UTF-16 document with valid grammar/spelling and I convert it to UTF-8, the grammar/spelling is not altered.
gollark: That's grammar/spelling, not *encoding*.

gollark: Encode extra proposal content in zero width space/invisible character patterns. I don't think there's any rule specifying the encoding of proposal content, so I could just sneak that into a proposal and later demand that it be followed. Possibly. Except invisible characters are forbidden.
