This day in history, June 28, 1951 60 years ago the Cambodian People Party, the Cambodian People Party that pratically rules Cambodia since 1989, was born. At birth, it was named Khmer Revolutionar Peoples's Party (KRPP). It was the off spring of the Cambodia section of the Indochinese Communist Party created and led by the Communist Vietnamese in 1930. At that time members of the KRPP were labelled Khmer Vietminh because of their affiliation to the Vietnamese.
The nationalist Cambodian communists were called Khmer Rouge, a break from the KRPP.
The CPP is presided over by Mr. Chea Sim with MM. Heng Samrin and Hun Sen as Vice President. Chea Sim hold the portofilio of President of the Senate, Heng Samrin of the National Assembly, and Hun Sen is Prime Minister. At the 60th Anniversary Celebration in Phnom Penh, the CPP continue to select Hun Sen as Prime Minister if the Party won the future elections. For sure, they will, a firm grip overr the destiny of the Kingdom, for the better or for the worse.
