The Communist Party of Benin (French: Parti Communiste du Bénin) is an anti-revisionist Marxist–Leninist communist party in Benin.[1] PCB was founded in 1977 by the Union of Communists of Dahomey. The party was initially called Communist Party of Dahomey (Parti Communiste du Dahomey).[2] The first secretary of the party is Philippe Noudjenoume. PCB publishes La Flamme.
PCB was an illegal party, working in a clandestine manner against the Kérékou regime,[1] and was only legally recognized on September 17, 1993.
During the Cold War, the party was pro-Albanian.[1] PCB is associated with the International Conference of Marxist–Leninist Parties and Organizations (Unity & Struggle).
In the legislative elections of 1995, Noël Koumba Koussey was to the National Assembly for the PCB.[1]
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]
