History

In February 1930 Ho Chi Minh founded together with other Communists, the Communist Party of Indochina. Ho drew young revolutionary intellectuals from the three Indochinese countries under French rule, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam, in the party, so from Laos Kaysone Phomvihane and Nouhak Phoumsavanh.

Foundation

In the 50s, emerged from the Communist Party of Indochina three regional parties, who continued the cause of the Communist Party of Indochina in their own country. In the DR Vietnam this was the PdW Vietnam, Laos, the Lao People's Party, which was founded on 22 March 1955. It saw itself as the party of revolution. In March 1951, he dissolved the IKP and created three regional organizations. For Laos emerged as the Pathet Lao, under the leadership of the left Prince Souphanouvong.

In great secrecy, Ho went ahead with the first party of the now " Lao People's" mentioned grouping on 22 March 1955. In him was attended by 25 delegates for allegedly 300 members. Since all the information but were held by Vietnam, the relevant partners, secret (until 1991 the name of the party cadres were not even officially called ), a verification is extremely difficult. We know, however, that in the LVP of the Lao Issara movement cadres were as present as partisan groups and left-wing intellectuals who have received their training in Hanoi, Moscow and Beijing.

Development

The LVP founded in 1956 a legal arm, the Lao Patriotic Front, whose members participated in various coalition cabinets in Laos Souvanna.

Although the party statutes, which were similar to those of the Vietnamese Communist Party, party congresses ROCHE every five years, the second Party Congress was held in February 1972. The Secretary-General in 1967 probably used ( party leader ), Kaysone Phomvihane was confirmed. At the Second Party Congress in 1972, the party adopted its present name. The party leader was Kaysone Phomvihane. 1975 took over the Communist cadres thanks to the help of the Vietnamese power, overthrew the old royalist system and built on the Soviet model, a Marxist- Leninist People's Democracy. This year, the feudalism was overthrown in Laos. On 2 December 1975, the Lao PDR was proclaimed a socialist state. The LPRP became the leading state party. In 1976, a delegation of the LPRP on Seventh Congress PdA Albania. At the Fourth Congress of the LPRP in 1986 the line of the renovation was adopted.

The party was officially enshrined in the Constitution, as essential instruments of policy. They determined the guidelines presented on the electoral lists and gave the orders to the ministries, regional governors and administrators in government and business.

Role in politics

In the Constitution of 1991, the leadership of the party is committed. Your highest body is nominally the party's congress, which consists of elected representatives of the party members, whose number was specified in 1991 with approximately 60,000, or about 1 % of the population of the country. However, the Congress of the agenda and the guidelines of the Central Committee and the Politburo follows. The Politburo is elected by the Central Committee, with the long residence time strikes. In the Central Committee back squad, which determines the Congress ( Congress ), on a proposal from the Politburo.

Since 1986, the statutes even convening of the Congress party, every five years, complied with; the party conventions found so far in March instead (1986, 1991, 1996, 2001, 2006 ). The LPRP has so far been followed only very half-heartedly the 1986-91 propagated theories of glasnost and perestroika. One reason may be the rampant nepotism; so were and are relatives of party leaders engaged in decisive party switching points, such as Kaysones son Saisomphong or Souphanouvongs son Khamsai.
