From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Congress for the Republic (French: Congrès Pour la République, CPR-Inganci) is a political party in Niger.

History

[edit]

The party was established in September 2014 by former mayor of Maradi Kassoum Moctar.[1]

Moctar was the party's presidential candidate in the 2016 general elections, but failed to advance to the second round. However, the CPR won three seats in the National Assembly.

In the 2020–21 general elections the party did not nominate a presidential candidate, but received 4% of the vote in the parliamentary elections, winning eight seats in the National Assembly.
