- People's Front for Democracy and Justice
The People's Front for Democracy and Justice (PFDJ) is the only legal political entity in Eritrea. It is nominally Marxist, but is often considered African socialist and holds itself open to nationalists of any political affiliation.

The leader of the party and President of Eritrea is Isaias Afewerki.
There is some debate as to whether PFDJ is a true political party or whether it is a broad governing association in transition.
Following a United Nations-supervised referendum on independence in April 1993, the EPLF, which liberated Eritrea and was pivotal in overthrowing the government of Ethiopia, declared the new nation of Eritrea the following month. In February 1994 the EPLF renamed itself the People's Front for Democracy and Justice as part of its transformation into Eritrea's ruling political movement.
