The Communist Party of Namibia was a communist party in Namibia. It was initially called the Party of Jacob Morenga because it was founded on the 74th anniversary of the death of Jacob Morenga on 3 October 1981 in Angola. The party general secretary was Rirua Karihangana.[1]
In 1989, the CPN entered the Socialist Alliance of Namibia (SAN),[1] which later joined the United Democratic Front of Namibia.
