The People's Revolutionary Party of Benin (French: Parti de la Révolution Populaire du Bénin, PRPB) was a political party in the People's Republic of Benin. It was founded in 1975 by Mathieu Kérékou, a General. Under the new constitution of 30 November 1975, the PRPB became the sole legal political party in the country. Ideologically, the party officially adhered to Marxism–Leninism, although it was broadly nationalist in pratice.
