Kampuchea People's Revolutionary Party
The Kampuchea People's Revolutionary Party, often known as the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), is the dominant political party in Cambodia. Founded in 1951, it played a central role in the country's history, especially after the Khmer Rouge era, and has been the ruling party since 1979. The party promotes a socialist-leaning government and has maintained power through elections and political influence. It is led by Prime Minister Hun Sen, who has been in office for decades. The CPP's governance impacts Cambodia's political stability, economic development, and policies, shaping the country's direction in the modern era.
