Nigerien Self-Management Party
political party in Niger
The Nigerien Self-Management Party (French: Parti nigérien pour l'autogestion, PNA-Al'ouma) was a political party in Niger led by Sanoussi Jackou. "Al'ouma", the party's nickname, is an Arabic loan word meaning "Community" in Hausa.
History
The party was founded by Jackou on 2 February 1997 following his 1996 expulsion from the Democratic and Social Convention (which he had co-founded in 1991) when he chose to take up ministerial posts in the government of Ibrahim Baré Maïnassara. It received 0.9% of the vote in the 1999 parliamentary elections, failing to win a seat. It contested the 2004 parliamentary elections in alliance with the Nigerien Party for Democracy and Socialism and the Nigerien Progressive Party – African Democratic Rally, with the joint list winning four seats. Jackou took one of the seats, becoming the PNA's first elected deputy.
It retained its single seat in the 2009 parliamentary elections, but received no votes in the 2011 elections that followed a 2010 coup. In the 2016 parliamentary elections it received 0.5% of the vote, failing to win a seat.

Why this record matters

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1989841. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1997, 1996, 1991 and 1999.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
