The Cambodian People's Party (CPP) is a major political party in Cambodia, founded in 1951. It has been the ruling party since 1985, led by Prime Minister Hun Sen. The CPP promotes policies aimed at economic development, national stability, and social progress, often emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace after years of conflict. The party has faced criticism for its approach to governance, including allegations of authoritarianism and suppression of political opposition. Despite this, the CPP has maintained significant support among the Cambodian population, largely due to its focus on economic growth and infrastructure development in the country.
