The Party of Independence, Labour and Justice (French: Parti de l’indépendance, du travail et de la justice, abbreviated PITJ) is a political party in Burkina Faso. The veteran trade union leader and former general secretary of the African Independence Party (PAI) Soumane Touré is the chairman of the party.[1]
Touré's PAI lost the registration of the party name in June 2011.[2] In September 2011 Touré founded PITJ as his new political platform.[1]
The party failed to win any seats in the 2012 legislative election.[3] The national list of the party got 8,139 votes (0.27%).[4] In the Houet province the list of the party obtained 6,061 votes.[5] PITJ contested the 2012 municipal elections, fielding candidates in 13 municipalities. The party won 64 seats.[6] The party won the mayoral posts in Karankasso-Vigué (Houet province).[7][8] When new mayors were installed in January 2013, PITJ retained the mayoral post in Karankasso-Vigué with Abdoulaye Simporé as its candidate.[8] Simporé had also headed the PITJ candidature in Houet province.[9] In March 2013 the PITJ leader Maxime Kambou was installed as first vice mayor of Gaoua.[10] The party had won 16 out of 130 seats in the municipal council in 2012.[11]
