The Movement of Progressive Democrats (French: Mouvement des Démocrates Progressistes, MDP) was a political party in Burkina Faso.
History
The MDP was established on 15 October 1987 by Hermann Yaméogo.[1] It joined the Popular Front, but was suspended from the group in July 1990 following internal problems.[2] In December 1990 Yaméogo broke away from the party to establish the Alliance for Democracy and Federation.[3]
The party won a single seat in the 1992 parliamentary elections. In 1996 it merged into the new Congress for Democracy and Progress.[4]
