The Alliance for Democracy in Mali-Pan-African Party for Liberty, Solidarity and Justice (''Alliance pour la Démocratie en Mali-Parti Pan-Africain pour la Liberté, la Solidarité et la Justice'') is a Political Party in Mali . On October 25 , 1990 opponents of the dictatorship of Moussa Traoré joined together as ADEMA. This umbrella movement included activists of the following organizations:
ADEMA also attracted many supporters with no previous political affiliation. On May 25 , 1991 , when the regime of Moussa Traoré was overturned by General Amadou Toumani Touré, ADEMA transformed itself into an official political party and took the name Alliance for Democracy in Mali-African Party for Solidarity and Justice (''ADEMA-Parti Africain pour la Solidarité et la Justice'', ADEMA-PASJ). In 1992, ADEMA-PASJ dominated the February and March legislative elections, claiming 76 of 116 seats in the Malian National Assembly. Its presidential candidate, Alpha Oumar Konaré, was elected President Of The Republic . ADEMA-PASJ continued to dominate the government for the following decade, and Konaré was re-elected in 1997 following an opposition boycott of the polls. At the end of Konaré's second term, ADEMA-PASJ divided over the succession of the presidency, with Ibrahim Boubacar Keïta leaving the party in October 2000 to form the Rally For Mali (''Rassemblement pour le Mali'', RPM). Former prime minister Mandé Sidibé also left in order to enter the presidential race. In April 2002 , Soumaïla Cissé was the official presidential candidate of ADEMA-PASJ. He won 22.7 % of the vote in the 28 April 2002 presidential elections and was defeated by Amadou Toumani Touré in the second round. Cissé won 35.7 % of the vote.. At the last Legislative Elections , 14 July 2002, the party won 45 out of 160 seats. 6 additional seats were won by partners in the Alliance for Republic and Democracy. ADEMA-PASJ's motto is "Work-Solidarity-Justice"; its symbol is the bee. The current party president is Dioncounda Traoré . ADEMA-PASJ is a member of Socialist International . EXTERNAL LINK |
