Communist Party of Iraq

Communist Party of Iraq, a political party in Iraq. CPI split away from the Iraqi Communist Party during the latter period of the Saddam Hussein regime. Many saw the setting up of CPI as a puppet party of the regime, whose existence would give the outside world an impression an impression that the country was a multi-party state. CPI met with foreign delegations visiting Iraq. It seems the intentions of CPI would be to join the government as a junior partner, similar to the coalition set-up in neighbouring Syria, but the idea was later discarded. CPI was never given possiblity to register as a legal party.

The current existence of the party is unclear.
