On the same day, a residence belonging to Ayéva was ransacked by security forces.〔("U.S. Department of State Country Report on Human Rights Practices 1998 - Togo" ), UNHCR.org.〕 The party boycotted the March 1999 parliamentary election along with the rest of the opposition,〔"Togo: Opposition leaders, facilitators meet in Paris", Radio France Internationale (nl.newsbank.com), March 6, 1999.〕 as well as the October 2002 parliamentary election.〔''Political Parties of the World'' (6th edition, 2005), ed. Bogdan Szajkowski, page 592.〕 It participated in the October 2007 parliamentary election,〔("Comment sont décomptés les suffrages" ), Republicoftogo.com, October 14, 2007 .〕 but did not win any seats.〔(Text of Constitutional Court decision (final election results) ), October 30, 2007 .〕 Ayéva has been accused of leading the party in an autocratic manner. The resignations of many leading members of the party, including three—Tchassona-Traoré Mouhamed, Innoussa Nafiou, and Adam Abdou Rahamane—in September 2006, have been attributed to this alleged tendency.〔("Zarifou Ayéva : Les raisons de la démission" ), ''Le Changement'', N° 043, October 5, 2006 (iciLome, October 7, 2006) .〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Party for Democracy and Renewal」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
