History

The party emerged due to the split of the Communist Party of Kazakhstan (CPK). The idea to create a new party belongs to the 12 members of the Central Committee of Communist Party of Kazakhstan, who withdrew its membership because of the disagreements with the first secretary of the CPK's Central Committee Serikbolssyn Abdildin[2]. The reason for the split with the CPK was the election of as a secretary of CPK a member of Mazhilis Tolen Tokhtassynov[3]. About 15 thousand members left CPK for CPPK. The founding congress CPPK took place in April 2004, on June 21, 2004 the party was registered with the Ministry of Justice of Kazakhstan[2].

Following the elections to Mazhilis in 2004 party received 1.98% of total voters (proportional system) and did not pass into Parliament[2].

In 2005 presidential elections CPPK nominated Yerassyl Abylkassymov as its candidate who received 0.34% of the votes[4].

On March 28, 2007 CPPK and CPK held a joint press conference at which they announced an impending merger. CPPK subsequently abandoned the association with the CPK because of the sharp political differences[2]. At a press conference in June 2007, Secretary of CPPK Vladislav Kossarev named the fact that the Communist Party of Kazakhstan was considering associations with CPPK only at the highest level (Bureaus of Central Committee) as the main reason for refusing to merge, at the same time according to him consideration for such merger was not provided at local level. Leader of CPPK said also that structures of CPK has been completely destroyed and the authority of the party among the people has been reduced to zero-level[5].

In elections to Mazhilis in 2007 the party won 1.29% of total votes and did not pass the electoral threshold to Parliament[1].
