Party for Progress and Citizenship

The Party for Progress and Citizenship (Parti pour le progrès et la citoyenneté, PPC) was a political party in Senegal from 2000 to 2002. Led by Mbaye-Jacques Diop, the PPC was formed as a split from the Socialist Party and supported President Abdoulaye Wade.[1]

In the April 2001 parliamentary election, the party won 0.91% of the popular vote and one out of 120 seats.[2] The party's only seat was won by Diop through national list proportional representation.[3] The PPC merged itself into the Senegalese Democratic Party (PDS) on 20 May 2002.[1]
