The National Democratic and Social Convention (French: Convention national démocratique et sociale, CNDS), sometimes referred to as the National Convention for Social Democracy, is a political party in Chad.
History
[edit ]The party nominated Adoum Moussa Seif as its candidate for the 1996 presidential elections; Seif finished seventh out of fifteen candidates with 3% of the vote.[1] In the parliamentary elections the following year the party won one seat in the National Assembly.
The CNDS supported incumbent President Idriss Déby in the 2001 presidential elections,[2] and retained its single seat in the 2002 parliamentary elections.
It contested the 2011 parliamentary elections as part of several alliances. A joint list with Action for Renewal of Chad (ART) won one seat, a joint list with the ART and Popular Party for Justice and Equality won another, while a joint list with the Movement for the Peace and Development of Chad–Rally for Democracy and Progress/Renewed won a third.[3]
