The Egyptian Communist Party (Arabic: الحزب الشيوعي المصري) (ECP) is a communist party in Egypt.

History and profile[edit]

The modern Egyptian Communist Party was formed in 1975^[2] by a number of members of the former Egyptian Communist Party. Under the regimes of Presidents Anwar Sadat and Hosni Mubarak the new Communist Party faced state repression and was barred from running in elections. The party however continued to operate underground until the overthrow of Mubarak in 2011.^[3] Despite having ECP members allegedly killed and imprisoned under Mubarak, the party have since been involved in mobilizing workers in 2011.^[4]
