The ruling party’s central committee wrapped up an annual congress meant to focus on upcoming elections yesterday with praise of the Cambodian People’s Party’s achievements, although an internal document suggested fears it was losing popularity to the opposition.
Almost 1,500 CPP members attended the two-day event, which was overseen by Prime Minister Hun Sen for the first time in his capacity as CPP president, a post he took over following the death of party stalwart Chea Sim last June.
