United Egyptian Communist Party


The United Egyptian Communist Party was a political party in Egypt. The party was founded in 1957, through the merger of the Unified Egyptian Communist Party and the Egyptian Communist Party. At the time of the merger a declaration was issued, calling for unity for national revolution amongst the Egyptian communists, working class and national bourgeoisie and for defense of the government of Gamal Abdul Nasser. The declaration also stated that the party would seek unification with the Workers and Peasants Communist Party at a later stage.
On January 8, 1958, the merger with the Workers and Peasants Communist Party was completed, forming the Egyptian Communist Party.
