Congolese Party of Labour

The Congolese Party of Labour (French: Parti congolais du travail, PCT), founded in 1969 by Marien Ngouabi, is the ruling political party of the Republic of the Congo. It was originally a Marxist-Leninist pro-Soviet party, which founded the People's Republic of the Congo, but moved towards a moderate left wing stance in the early 1990s. Denis Sassou Nguesso is President of the PCT Central Committee, and Pierre Ngolo is the PCT's Secretary-General.

Famous quotes containing the words party and/or labour:

    William Howard Taft (1857–1930)

    I know that the right kind of leader for the Labour Party is a kind of desiccated calculating machine.
    Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)
