The Communist Party of Benin (in French: Parti Communiste du Bénin) is a communist political party in Benin following a Hoxhaist line while maintaining membership of the ICMLPO.

History[edit | edit source]
For the few few decades of its existence PCB was an outlawed party aligned with Hoxha's Albania, working in a clandestine manner against the Kérékou regime, and was only legally recognized on September 17, 1993.[1]
In the legislative elections of 1995, PCB got one MP elected. In the 1996 presidential elections, PCB candidate Pascal Fantodji got 17,977 votes (1.08%).[1]
In 1998, Magloire Yansunnu was expelled. In 1999, Yansunnu formed the Marxist-Leninist Communist Party of Benin.[1]
In 2011 secretary-general Philippe Noudjenoume submitted his candidacy for the upcoming presidential elections, this was denied by the Cour Constitutonnelle.[1]
