The African Party of Independence of Cape Verde (Portuguese: Partido Africano da Independência de Cabo Verde, PAICV) is a social-democratic political party in Cape Verde. This former communist party came to power as a sole ruling party after independence and ruled the country under the name African Party for the Independence of Guinea and Cape Verde. The party was formed with the intent of unifying Cape Verde and Guinea Bissau, which fought their revolutionary wars against António Salazar's Portugal simultaneously. It took the present name in 1980 following a coup in Guinea-Bissau that ousted the Cape Verdean independence hero Amílcar Cabral's brother, Luís Cabral.
