this party is not listed among the candidates of either the
2004
nor the
2008
elections (q.v. as reported from Wikipedia) as it is one of the member of
the U.M. coalition.
According to “A
Transição Democrática na Guiné-Bissau :
Um Parto Dificil” article by Carlos Cardoso in
Lusotopie 1995: 259, low income city dwellers and farmers are
the F.D.S. support base.

The flag of F.D.S. is shown in both ballot papers
reported (#8 in Bissau-28 and #7 in Bissau-29). It is a green flag with the
party emblem centered on it — a yellow ear of rice within a yellow
ring, under the letters F.D.S., set arched above the ring set in black
sans-serif capitals. The flag ratio is roughly 3:5, oblonger than most
others’ in the ballot papers are.
