Party for Socialism and Democracy in Niger

History

The PSDN was established on 18 May 1992. In the 1993 general elections the party received 1.5% of the vote, winning one seat in the National Assembly. It nominated Omar Katzelma Taya as its candidate for the subsequent presidential elections; he finished seventh in a field of eight candidates with 1.8% of the vote.

The early parliamentary elections in 1995 saw the party win two seats with a similar vote share. However, it boycotted the 1996 elections,[1] which followed a coup earlier in the year.

The PSDN did not nominate a presidential candidate for the 1999 elections, and received only 0.2% of the vote in the parliamentary elections, failing to win a seat. However, after increasing its vote share to 1.3% in the 2004 general elections, it regained parliamentary representation, winning a single seat. Despite further increasing its vote share to 2.3% in the 2009 parliamentary elections, the party lost its seat. The 2011 elections saw its vote share collapse to 0.2%, as it remained seatless.

In the 2016 general elections it formed a joint list with the Nigerien Movement for Democratic Renewal to run for the National Assembly, with the alliance winning six seats.

gollark: I wanted a hyperapp-like state management thing with no view for skynet (it's a long story...) so I made this, because Javascript microlibraries are trendy.```javascriptconst R = require("ramda")module.exports = (initialState, actions, context = {}, expose) => { let state = initialState const wired = R.map(action => (...args) => { const result = action(...args)(state, actions, context) if (typeof result === "object") { state = R.merge(state, result) } }, actions) if ("init" in wired) { wired.init() } if (expose) { return R.pick(expose, wired) } else { return wired }}```
gollark: Er, how do I uninvert it?
gollark: It's to help users by emphasising the idiomatic bottom-up approach involving making programs from small composable functions.
gollark: Ours is upside-down, though.
gollark: I found an upside-down mappings table somewhere, which ought to help.
