The Marcus Garvey People's Political Party (formerly known as the Marcus Garvey People's Progressive Party) is a political party in Jamaica formed by the merger of two minor parties.^{[citation needed]} The ideology associated with the party is socialist, republican and Pan-Africanist. The party is named after Jamaican National Hero, Marcus Garvey. On election ballots, the party campaign as MG/PPP (or MGPPP^[1]) or simply PPP.

The People's Political Party (PPP), founded in 1929 by Garvey, is Jamaica's first political party.^[2][3] In recent years, the Party has been spearheaded by the Rastafari attorney Ras Miguel Lornne. The Party predominantly compose of Rastafaris^[4] who have been disenfranchised from political office and tourism in Jamaica, despite their immense contribution to Jamaican culture, and the exporting of Jamaican culture.^[1] In the December 2011 election, the MGPPP put forward candidates in ten constituencies, and received between twenty and seventy-six votes each out of the thousands of votes cast.^[1]

During the colonial era, the British colonial government in Jamaica tried to crush any activity by the Black majority that might upset their colonial order.^[5] From the 1890s, the British tried to eradicate "influential religio-racial leaders."^[5] In the mid 1920s, Blacks who promoted Black nationalism where deemed by the colonisers as a threat to their interest and colonial rule. In 1920, the colonisers viewed Marcus Garvey's People's Political Party as a threat to the status quo, as it demanded independence from Britain.^[5] Temple University Associate Professor, Charles Price, writes that, in The Daily Gleaner, an author of that paper described the speeches of PPP candidates as:

"noxious doctrines," introduced to an "ignorant minoirty,...a criminal minority; and it is always possible that these might at any moment, being intoxicated by foolish doctrines, break out of control and suffer the consequences."^[5]

Following the death of MGPPP's President, Moses Emanuel Henriques in February 2012, he was succeeded by Leon Burrell,^[6][7] the Caribbean history teacher.

The MGPPP nominated six candidates in the 2016 Jamaican general election.^[8][9]
