In a statement, the Press Office of the Central Committee of the KKE announced that the proceedings of the 22nd Congress of the KKE concluded with the election of the new Central Committee, consisting of 95 members, as well as a new nine-member Central Audit Committee.
At its first meeting, the Central Committee unanimously elected Dimitris Koutsoumbas as General Secretary of the Central Committee of the KKE.
It is noted that earlier, during the first item on the agenda of the 22nd Congress —concerning the Report of the Central Committee and the Central Audit Committee, as well as the Action Plan leading up to the 23rd Congress— a total of 85 delegates took the floor. The discussion expressed broad agreement with the Theses and the Report of the Central Committee, and valuable experience was shared from the activities of all Regional Organizations on workers’ and popular issues.
Based on international and domestic developments, the discussion focused on the main theme of the 22nd Congress: how the overall functioning of the Party and the state of its forces could be fully harmonized with its revolutionary Programme and Statutes at a faster and more effective pace. The aim is for the Party to truly become an “all-weather party”, a “party ready for all”, a goal to be reflected in its daily action and contribution, raising the consciousness of the working class and the people, and guiding our people’s struggle for socialism.
The Report of the Central Committee and the closing speech delivered on its behalf by the GS of the CC of the KKE, Dimitris Koutsoumbas, were unanimously approved. The Report of the Central Audit Committee of the KKE was also unanimously approved.
The 22nd Congress also unanimously approved the Political Resolution of the Congress, which defines the tasks of the Party up to its 23rd Congress.
Following the completion of the first item on the agenda, awards were presented —in honour of the 22nd Congress— to Party Organizations that distinguished themselves in the recruitment of new members, party-building efforts, and the dissemination of Rizospastis in 2025,
The proceedings of the Congress concluded with the Internationale.
