Second Republic
Djermakoye was the leader of one of two major factions that emerged in the National Movement for the Development of Society (MNSD) in 1991. Djermakoye was a member of the Zarma (Djerma) ethnic group, which had previously dominated the party, but rival faction leader Tandja Mamadou was elected as President of the MNSD in November 1991 with the support of non-Zarma elements in the party. Djermakoye then split from the MNSD and formed the Club of the Friends of Moumouni Adamou Djermakoye (CAMAD), which subsequently became the Nigerien Alliance for Democracy and Progress (ANDP).

Famous quotes containing the word republic:
“It is the manners and spirit of a people which preserves a republic in vigour. A degeneracy in these is a canker which soon eats to the heart of its laws and constitution.”
—Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
“While the Republic has already acquired a history world-wide, America is still unsettled and unexplored. Like the English in New Holland, we live only on the shores of a continent even yet, and hardly know where the rivers come from which float our navy.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
