On 15 December 2020, major rebel groups in the Central African Republic including
Anti-balaka, UPC, FPRC, 3R and MPC created a coalition. The group seized many towns including
Yaloke and
Bossembele. Bambari was also temporarily seized by rebels. On 25 December, the rebels killed three UN peacekeepers and injured two others in Dekoa and Bakouma. Due to rebel attacks, elections did not take place in many areas of the country. Some 800 of the country's polling stations, 14% of the total, were closed due to violence, and during the first round, voting was unable to take place in 29 of the 71 sub-prefectures, while six others only managed to partially vote before being shut down due to voter intimidation. On 15 January, rebels attacked
Bangui killing one peacekeeper before being repelled by international forces. On 21 March, the coalition announced that Bozizé had become the group's "general coordinator". On 6 April UPC reportedly left Coalition of Patriots for Change, but officially rejoined in early December 2021.
Bozizé–Darassa conflict and split In July 2024,
Ali Darassa, leader of UPC and Bozizé's right-hand man, announced the cessation of hostilities with the Touadéra government. This statement was denied by the entirety of CPC, according to Bozizé, which led to the expulsion of Darassa from the alliance on 5 August. On 30 August, Darrassa announced the creation of CPC–Fondamentale (CPC-F) splinter faction that mainly comprised UPC, some members of FRPC and anti-balaka, as well as recently formed Front de défense pour les libertés publiques (FDLP) group.
Haroun Gaye was appointed general coordinator of CPC-F. Hovewer, many groups within CPC remained loyal to Bozizé, including 3R, remaining elements of MPC and several high-ranking FPRC members. Bozizé had subsequently designated Ramadhane Abdlekader (Sembé Bobbo), 3R leader, as his deputy, and Dobordje Goska, 3R chief of staff, as military chief of staff for the coalition. They were officially dissolved on 10 July 2025, during a ceremony held in Bangui. ==Notes==
