People's Movement for Progress


The People's Movement for Progress was a political party in Burkina Faso that was founded on 25 January 2014 by former Congress for Democracy and Progress member Roch Marc Christian Kaboré. Kaboré ran as the party's presidential candidate in the 2015 general election and was elected in the first round of voting; the MPP also won a plurality of seats in the National Assembly. It is a full member of the Progressive Alliance and Socialist International. On January 24, 2022, Kaboré was deposed as Burkina Faso President and arrested following a military coup. On 29 January 2026, all parties, including this one, were dissolved through decree by the junta government in Burkina Faso.
