The Democratic Forum for Modernity (French: Forum Démocratique pour la Modernité, FODEM) is a political party in the Central African Republic.

History

The party was founded by

1999 presidential elections
, finishing eighth out of ten candidates with 1.3% of the vote.

In the first round of the

presidential elections held on 13 March 2005, Massi won 3.2% of the vote.[2] He backed François Bozizé in the second round[3] and became a Minister of State in the government after the elections.[4]
In the simultaneous National Assembly elections, the party was reduced to a single seat.

After Massi was appointed as Political Coordinator of the Union of Democratic Forces for the Rally (UFDR) rebel group,[5] FODEM rejected this move and expelled Massi from the party; it established a provisional political bureau on 22 May 2008 with Joseph Garba Ouangolé as President.[6]

In 2010, FODEM joined the Presidential Majority alliance in preparation for the

2011 general elections.[7] The party nominated six candidates for the 105 seats in the National Assembly,[8]
and although the alliance won 11 seats, FODEM failed to win a seat.
