In 2024, the CPK split into a majority faction, which became the Communist Party Marxist – Kenya, and a minority faction, which joined the Kenya Kwanza alliance and retained the original "Communist Party of Kenya" name.[4] | |
The Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) (Swahili: Chama cha Kikomunisti cha Kenya),[5][6] is a political organisation in Kenya. Founded in 1992 as the Social Democratic Party (SDP), the political party has undergone substantial transformations in its name, ideological orientation and political positioning, shifting from social democracy to communism. Throughout its history, the Communist Party of Kenya has faced distinct challenges and played a notable role in Kenya's political evolution.[7]
