== Early History ==
2 years after the foundation of the National Fypriot Liberation Front Ploutis broke away from the PPWPF'S predecesor the N.R.W.S and declared the foundation of the PPWPF. Almost all members of the National Fypriot Liberation Front joined the PPWPF and most officers in the N.F.L.F were PPWPF members. After it's foundation the N.R.W.S was almost immetiadly targeted by the N.F.L.F and 2 years after Serva's break from it the N.R.W.S was disbanded, leading most of it's members to the PPWPF. 1 Year later the Northen Fypriot revolution occured making the PPWPF the leading party in Fyprus.
== Middle History (1946-1988) ==
After the revolution and the foundation of the Fyptiot Socialist People's Federal State(Northen Fyprus) the party had it's high ranking politicians placed in governemnt roles tasked with rebuilding the nation. Under the 1946 Servas Cabinet and the 1969 Ioannou Cabinet the state prospered and the party was well liked with the poeple. At that time around 78% of the population where members of the PPWPF. 
== Modern History (1988-) ==
After the foundation of the 1988 Ezeikas Government the party was made more authoritarian and membership was almost liem it was mandatory. Many people joined anti communist organazations to resist Ezeikas, like ΕΟΦ and AOΛ. By the time of the Northen Fypriot Civil war the party was split into 3: PPWPF L, the loyalists to ezeikas and the governemnt, PPWPF B, the former members loyal to the Socialist Federal Republic Of Fyprus and PPWPF C, the least organised part which commonly collaborated with the F.I.A and ΕΟΦ. After the end of the civil war and the start of the 1994 Xristofias Cabinet the party was reunited and the gaps inside of it was starting to dissapear. After Stefanos took over the party started it's full recovery and today it is pretty popular with the people and after 2004 FASOK allowed the PPWPF to run in the Southern Fypriot local elections.
