(

;
Russian
:
Коммунистическая партия Азербайджана
,

) was the ruling
political party
in the
Azerbaijan SSR
, making it effectively a branch of the
Communist Party of the Soviet Union
. It was formed on 20 February 1920, when the
Muslim Social Democratic Party
,
Communist Party of Persia
,
Ahrar Party
and the
Baku
Bolsheviks
joined together to establish the Communist Party of Azerbaijan. On 1 April of the same year, the Fifth Cabinet of Ministers of the
Azerbaijan Democratic Republic
gave its resignations and all the power to the Communist Party of Azerbaijan. The party ruled the
Azerbaijan SSR
until 14 September 1991 when it was formally disbanded.

Nevertheless, former leaders and members of the communists continued to play a role in the family- and patronage-based political system. The Communist Party of Azerbaijan won the first multi-party elections in Azerbaijan that took place on 30 September and 14 October 1990 for the Supreme Soviet, obtaining 280 out of 360 seats.
