The Party for National Salvation (French: Parti pour le Salut National, PSN) was an Islamic political party in the Comoros.

History

[edit]

The PSN was supportive of President Said Mohamed Djohar.[1] It received 2.3% of the vote in the 1992 parliamentary elections, gaining representation in the Assembly of the Union.[1]

In 2006 the party began to cooperate with the Rally for Development and Democracy (RDD) as the PSN/RDD,[2] eventually merging into a single party, the Party for National Salvation, Rally, Democracy and Development (PSNRDD).
