The **Democratic Front of the Comoros** ([French](/source/French_language): *Front Démocratique des Comores*, FDC) was a political party in the [Comoros](/source/Comoros).

## History

The FDC began its existence as an exile group, and was initially led by Mustapha Saïd Cheikh, who had been imprisoned for involvement in a coup attempt in 1985.[1] The party was invited to join [Said Mohamed Djohar](/source/Said_Mohamed_Djohar)'s government in 1990, and campaigned for the proposed new constitution in the [1992 referendum](/source/Comorian_constitutional_referendum%2C_1992).

The party finished third in the popular vote in the [parliamentary elections](/source/Comorian_legislative_election%2C_1992) later in the year, but won only two seats. Both seats were lost in the [early elections](/source/Comorian_legislative_election%2C_1993) in 1993.

Cheikh was the FDC candidate for the [2002 presidential elections](/source/Comorian_presidential_election%2C_2002), but finished last in a nine-candidate field. The party subsequently joined the [Camp of the Autonomous Islands](/source/Camp_of_the_Autonomous_Islands) alliance prior to the [2004 parliamentary elections](/source/Comorian_legislative_election%2C_2004). The alliance won 12 of the 18 elected seats and all 15 of the indirectly elected seats.[1]
