Party of the Angolan Communist Community (in Portuguese: Partido da Comunidade Comunista Angolana) is a political party in Angola. Baptista André José Simão is the chairman of the party.
The party was registered at the Supreme Court in 1994. [1] Ahead of the 2008 parliamentary election, the party was not allowed to participate as it failed to obtain the necessary 5 000 voters signatures. [2] The party presented 4,573 signatures, out of which 1,846 were deemed correct according to the Constitutional Court. [3] The party forms part of the 'Group of Seven', a grouping of parties which either had their candidacies rejected or never attempted to put candidates in the election. The grouping supported the ruling People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola ( MPLA) in the 2008 election. [4]
