The Estonian Workers' Party (Estonian: Eesti Tööliste Partei) was a political party in Estonia.
History
The party was a front for the Communist Party, which had used umbrella organisations to participate in politics since being banned in 1918.[1] In the 1926 elections the party won six seats,[2] a decrease on the ten seats the Communists won in the 1923 elections running under the guise of the Workers' United Front.[2]
The 1929 elections saw the party retain its six seats.[2] For the 1932 elections the Communists ran as the Left-wing Workers.[3]
