Front), this party is not listed among the candidates of either the 
2004

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.
