History[]

Soviet era[]

The first social democratic groups arose in Tajikistan during the 1905 Russian Revolution and by late 1917 and early 1918, Bolshevik organizations were created in Khodjent, Ura-Tyube, Penjikent, and Shurab. On December 6, 1924, the government formed the Organizing Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Uzbekistan in the Tajik Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. The first Tajik party conference was held between October 21–27, 1927. On 25 November 1929, by the decision of the Politburo of the CPSU, the CPT was formed by separation from the CPU. In 1975, the CPT had more than 94,000 members.

Regional and city committees[]

• Dushanbe City Committee
• Garm Regional Committee
• Gorno-Badakhshan Regional Committee *Kulyab Regional Committee
• Kurgan-Tyubinsk Regional Committee *Stalinabad Regional Committee
• Ura-Tyuba Regional Committee

Post-independence[]

After the fall of the USSR, it was voted to rename the CPT the Socialist Party of Tajikistan, however, by December 1991, the ban on the activities of the Communist Party was lifted.^[2][3] During the Tajikistani Civil War, the CPT supported the government and the Popular Front of Tajikistan. At present, the Communist Party of Tajikistan is indifferent to the government of Emomali Rahmon. Beginning in the 2000s, the CPT lost the majority of its electorate, with today's electorate of the party being made up mainly of people of retirement age.
