- Observations: The Popular Petition was the major surprise of the 2011 Constituent Assembly elections, originally coming in second place before having several of its seats taken away by the ISIE. The Courts later restored some of these, leaving the party in third position in the Assembly. It has since then been racked by defections and controversy.
