The 22nd Congress of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) to be held on 29-31 January 2026

The Communist Party of Greece (KKE) has announced that its 22nd Congress will be held from 29–31 January 2026 in Athens under the slogan: “Strong KKE, stable in every trial, ready for History’s call to Socialism.”

According to 902 portal, preparations will begin in October, when the Central Committee publishes its Congress Positions in the party newspaper Rizospastis. A pre-Congress debate will follow, involving both internal party structures and the youth wing (KNE), as well as public discussion through party publications.
 
According to the announcement, the Congress will assess the party’s work since its last gathering, set priorities for the coming years, and elect a new Central Committee and financial oversight body. Key themes include strengthening grassroots organizations, expanding membership, particularly among workers and women, and improving the reach of party media.

The KKE underlines the urgency of political and organizational readiness amid what it calls “growing imperialist rivalries, economic crisis, and rising class struggle,” while stressing optimism about opportunities for broader mobilization.
