In the next parliamentary elections in 1998 the Civic Forum was part of the Union of Forces for Peace (UFAP), which opposed President Ange-Félix Patassé. The party won a single seat, and UFAP gained a majority of 55 of the 109 seats in the National Assembly. However, the ruling Movement for the Liberation of the Central African People was able to form a government after the defection of a UFAP MP.Tom Lansford (2014) Political Handbook of the World 2014, CQ Press, p249
