On August 10th 2010, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Pierre_Fabre][color=#0645ad]Jean-Pierre Fabre[/color][/url] is elected as President of the party.
The UFC was founded by Olympio as a federation of parties on February 1, 1992.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-Hist-1][color=#0b0080][2][/color][/url] Olympio was barred from standing in the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togolese_presidential_election,_1993][color=#0645ad]August 1993 presidential election[/color][/url] on a technicality.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-UFC-0][color=#0b0080][1][/color][/url] The UFC boycotted the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togolese_parliamentary_election,_1994][color=#0645ad]February 1994 parliamentary election[/color][/url].[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-Hist-1][color=#0b0080][2][/color][/url] Olympio was able to run in the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togolese_presidential_election,_1998][color=#0645ad]June 1998 presidential election[/color][/url], placing second with 34% of the vote, behind long-time President [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gnassingb%C3%A9_Eyad%C3%A9ma][color=#0645ad]Gnassingbé Eyadéma[/color][/url], according to official results;[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-2][color=#0b0080][3][/color][/url] the UFC alleged fraud, however. The UFC boycotted the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togolese_parliamentary_election,_1999][color=#0645ad]March 1999 parliamentary election[/color][/url],[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-PP-3][color=#0b0080][4][/color][/url] and it also participated in an opposition boycott of the next [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togolese_parliamentary_election,_2002][color=#0645ad]parliamentary election[/color][/url], held on 27 October 2002.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-PP-3][color=#0b0080][4][/color][/url][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-4][color=#0b0080][5][/color][/url]
[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emmanuel_Bob-Akitani][color=#0645ad]Emmanuel Bob-Akitani[/color][/url], the First Vice-President of the UFC, was the main opposition candidate in the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togolese_presidential_election,_2003][color=#0645ad]June 2003 presidential election[/color][/url] and the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togolese_presidential_election,_2005][color=#0645ad]April 2005 presidential election[/color][/url], acting as a surrogate candidate for Olympio, who was banned from running because he had lived in exile for several years. He officially received 38.1% of the vote on the latter occasion, losing to [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faure_Gnassingb%C3%A9][color=#0645ad]Faure Gnassingbé[/color][/url], son of the deceased Eyadéma, amidst opposition claims of a rigged vote.
The UFC decided not to join the national unity government under Prime Minister [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yawovi_Agboyibo][color=#0645ad]Yawovi Agboyibo[/color][/url] in September 2006, although many in the party were reportedly unhappy with Olympio's decision in this regard. The party's Second Vice-President, [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amah_Gnassingb%C3%A9&action=edit&redlink=1][color=#ba0000]Amah Gnassingbé[/color][/url], accepted a post in the government[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-5][color=#0b0080][6][/color][/url] as Minister of State[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-6][color=#0b0080][7][/color][/url] and was suspended from the UFC as a result.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-7][color=#0b0080][8][/color][/url]
The party participated in the [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togolese_parliamentary_election,_2007][color=#0645ad]October 2007 parliamentary election[/color][/url], the first time it participated in a parliamentary election since multiparty elections began to be held in the early 1990s.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-8][color=#0b0080][9][/color][/url] The party won 27 out of 81 seats, behind the ruling [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rally_of_the_Togolese_People][color=#0645ad]Rally of the Togolese People[/color][/url] (RPT), which won a majority.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-Rem-9][color=#0b0080][10][/color][/url] The UFC alleged irregularities in vote counting [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-10][color=#0b0080][11][/color][/url] and, following the confirmation of the results by the Constitutional Court, UFC Secretary-General Jean-Pierre Fabré, described the results as "neither credible nor acceptable" and said that they did not represent the people's will.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-11][color=#0b0080][12][/color][/url][url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-12][color=#0b0080][13][/color][/url]

Also at this congress, Jean-Pierre Fabré was re-elected as Secretary-General; [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Patrick_Lawson&action=edit&redlink=1][color=#ba0000]Patrick Lawson[/color][/url] was elected as First Vice-President, while Bob-Akitani was named Honorary President.[url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Union_of_Forces_for_Change#cite_note-14][color=#0b0080][15][/color][/url]
