Party of Communists of Kyrgyzstan


The Party of Communists of Kyrgyzstan is a political party in Kyrgyzstan. PKK was founded on June 22, 1992.
It was the largest single party in the Legislative Assembly of Kyrgyzstan between 2001 and 2005 with 15 of the 60 seats. In 2005 it won 1 of 75 seats. Two years later the party took eight seats in the larger 90-seat Supreme Council. The Communists, however, failed to win any seats in successive legislative elections held in 2010 and 2015.
It was led by Absamat Masaliyev, a former leader of the republic in the Soviet era, until his death in 2004. The present chairman is Bumairam Mamaseitova.
PKK publishes Pravda Kyrgyzstana.
The party considers itself to be the successor of the Communist Party of Kyrgyzstan, the Communist Party which controlled Kyrgyzstan under Soviet rule.
