  • The Socialist Party is an opposition party in Zambia. It describes itself as socialist and Marxist–Leninist.[1]

    The party was launched in March 2018 in a split from Rainbow Party, another Zambian socialist party.[2]

    It was founded by the journalist and businessman Fred M'membe, who was the party's candidate for president in the 2021 Zambian general election.[2][3]

    While the formerly ruling Patriotic Front describes itself as socialist, in its current form it is generally seen as center-left.[2][4] The Socialist Party's 2021 election manifesto promised a focus on universal education and health care, as well as cooperative farming.[3]
