Organisation for Democracy and Labour
The Organisation for Democracy and Labour (French: Organisation pour la démocratie et le travail, ODT) is a political party in Burkina Faso. The party supported the government of Blaise Compaoré.[1] As of 2013 Moïse Sawadogo was the chairman of the party.[1] The slogan of the party is 'Democracy - Work - Justice'.[2]
The party was registered with the Burkinabé authorities for the first time on April 14, 2003. It was re-registered in 2007 and 2011.[1]
The party contested elections for the first time in 2006, fielding candidates in local polls. 17 ODT municipal councilors were elected.[3]
The party won one seat in the 2012 legislative election.[1] The party general secretary Dieudonné Sawadogo was elected from Bam Province.[1][4] The provincial list of the party got 12,813 votes.[5] The national list of the party got 62,479 votes (2.07%).[6] The party also contested the 2012 municipal elections, fielding candidates in 20 municipalities. The party won 46 seats.[7] The party won the mayoral post of Guibaré.[3]
In August–September 2013 ODT underwent an internal crisis.[1][3] On August 31, 2013 Dieudonné Sawadogo organised an extraordinary party congress in Kongoussi, which declared Moïse Sawadogo deposed and named Mahamoudou Sawadogo as new party chairman.[3] In response, in September 2013, Moïse Sawadogo declared Dieudonné Sawadogo and eight other party members expelled, citing 'high treason' against the party.[1][8]
