In the presidential election held on 27 December 2001 Sata won 3.4% of the vote. In the legislative elections on the same day the party won 2.8% of popular votes and 1 out of 158 seats. In the 2006 elections, the patriotic front came second winning 46 constituencies out of the 158 constituencies. The Patriotic Front swept local government seats in Copperbelt and Lusaka, and a large number of the urban constituencies in the Northern and Luapula provinces.〔("Zambia: Sata denies plans to set up 'parallel government'" ) , Reuters〕 ==Formation== The Patriotic Front was formed as a political party in 2001. In 2000, after Chiluba lost a bid to change the constitution to allow him to stand for third term, Michael Sata thought he would be endorsed as the MMD presidential candidate. The answer was given in 2001 when Chiluba noted that none of those (including Sata) who were in his government at the time were capable of winning the elections. At a secret ballot, Chiluba personally nominated Mwanawasa and voted for him to be the presidential candidate.〔("Presidential term limits in Africa by Daniel Vencovsky" ), AfricaFiles〕 Angered by this turn of events, Sata quit the MMD and founded the PF.〔("Who will be Zambia’s next president?" ), SANF News〕 At the same time, notable figures like Christon Tembo, Godfrey Miyanda and Edith Nawakwi formed the Forum for Democracy and Development Party (FDD). Michael Sata became the PF president, and as such contested the 2001 presidential election but did not do well, winning only 3.4% of the vote. In the 2006 presidential election, Sata declared himself the winner before the vote counting process was over. The final official results placed him in second place, a situation that caused civil unrest among his supporters. 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「Patriotic Front (Zambia)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
