Revived Communist Party of Georgia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Revived Communist Party of Georgia (Georgian: საქართველოს აღორძინებული კომუნისტური პარტია, romanized: sakartvelos aghordzinebuli k'omunist'uri p'art'ia, SAKP) was a communist party in Georgia founded in 1997 and later[when?] dissolved.

The party had a 105-member central committee elected on a two-year mandate. A CC Bureau was constituted with 21 members.

The chairman of the party was Shalva Berianidze. The second secretary was Zakaria Menteshashvili.

Initially the party was part of the electoral bloc "Revived Communists and People's Patriots" together with the Democratic Union of Georgia. It then shifted, ahead of the 1999 elections and joined the bloc "Communists - Stalinists" which had been formed by Communist Party of Georgia and Political Party "Stalineli".

It was recognized as the legal successor to the Communist Party of Georgia.
