Member State of the Arab League The Movement for Democracy and Progress (French: Mouvement pour la Démocratie et le Progrès, MDP), also known as the People's Democratic Movement (Mouvement Démocratique Populaire) was a political party in the Comoros.
Based in Moroni,[1] the party campaigned for the constitution approved in a 1992 referendum, and contested the subsequent parliamentary elections later in the year.
In 1994 the MDP joined with other opposition to form the Forum for National Recovery (FRN), an alliance opposed to President Said Mohamed Djohar.
Djoussouf finished second in the first round of voting, progressing to the runoff, where he was defeated by UDD candidate Mohamed Taki Abdoulkarim by a margin of 64%–36%.
Prior to the 2004 parliamentary elections the MDP joined the Camp of the Autonomous Islands alliance.
