The People's Front for Democracy and Justice is the only legal political entity in Eritrea and is nominally Marxist, but often considered African Socialist. It is the successor to the Eritrean People's Liberation Front. The leader of the party (and President of Eritrea) is Isaias Afewerki.

There is some debate as to whether it is a "political party" or whether it is a broad governing association in transition.

After the holding of a United Nations-supervised referendum on independence there in April 1993, the EPLF, who liberated Eritrea and 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. The PFDJ holds itself nominally open to all nationalists of any political affiliation.[1]
