The Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) is a political party in Zambia. The FDD was founded in 2001 by former members of the Movement for Multi-Party Democracy (MMD) disaffected by Frederick Chiluba’s efforts to change the constitution to allow him to stand for a third term. At the legislative elections on 27 December 2001 the party won 15.3% of popular votes and 12 out of 159 seats. Its candidate at the presidential elections Christon Tembo on the same day won 13.2%.
