Two future Congolese statesmen,
In March 1957 a PPC-African Socialist Movement (MSA) alliance was formed. The PPC-MSA bloc obtained a majority, 25 seats (out of whom two seats were held by PPC), in the new Territorial Assembly of Moyen-Congo. A government led by the MSA leader Jacques Opangault was formed. But the alliance between PPC and MSA would not last. In September 1957 the majority fell apart, and UDDIA formed a new government.[12][13] In the same year, the RDA had broken its links with PPC and sided with UDDIA.[14] After the break with RDA, the PPC aligned itself with the African Regroupment Party (PRA).[15]
