The Alliance of Patriotic Forces (Portuguese: Aliança de Forças Patrioticas, AFP) was a political alliance in Guinea-Bissau. It consisted of the Union for Change (UM), Guinean Civic Forum-Social Democracy (FCG-SD), the Democratic Social Front (FDS) and the Solidarity and Labour Party (PST).[1]
History
The Alliance was formed in September 2008 in order to contest the November 2008 parliamentary elections. However, it received just 1.3% of the vote and failed to win a seat.
It supported Manuel Serifo Nhamadjo in the March 2012 presidential elections.[1] Nhamadjo finished third with 16% of the vote. Following the April 2012 coup the FCG-SD and the FDS joined the pro-coup Opposition Democratic Forum, whilst the PST joined the National Anti-Coup Front.[1]
