Cambodian People's Party

The Cambodian People's Party (CPP) is the ruling political party in Cambodia, founded in 1951. It has been in power since the Cambodian Civil War ended in the 1970s, particularly under the leadership of Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has held office for decades. The CPP is associated with a strongman approach to governance, focusing on economic growth and political stability. Critics argue that it employs authoritarian tactics to suppress opposition and limit freedoms. Despite controversies surrounding its governance, the CPP remains influential in Cambodian politics and society.
