CPP Committed to Ensure More Prosperous Communes

Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen, President of the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, has reaffirmed the Party’s commitment to ensure the prosperity of each commune across the country.

At the commemoration of the CPP’s 71st founding anniversary held here at the Party’s headquarters this morning, Samdech Techo Hun Sen said the glorious victory of CPP in the election of the 5th term commune/Sangkat councils clearly shows that the Cambodian people need the leadership role of CPP, both at the national and at the commune levels.

With this victory, he continued, the CPP will have a stronger basis for victory in the upcoming 7th National Assembly elections in 2023, and will defeat the tactics and hostile actions of the extremist and ill-willed opposition who go against the will and interests of the people.

On behalf of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee, the Honorary President of the Party and himself, the CPP president expressed his deepest respect and gratitude to the members of the Party, the youth, and compatriots from all walks of life who have strong faith in the leadership of the CPP and who voted overwhelmingly for the CPP.

“In response to this trust, the Party is committed to making full efforts to successfully implement the 2022-2027 commune development policy to ensure more prosperous communes throughout the country, and the people will have more prosperous life, and continue to live in harmony, both in the family, in the community, as well as in society as a whole,” he stressed.

The 5th commune/Sangkat council election on June 5, 2022, which was attended by 17 political parties, was successfully held in a neutral, free and safe political environment. Large numbers of people went to every polling station with dignity, happiness, and of their own free will to elect the commune/Sangkat council to continue to lead in their locality. This election is considered by national observers, international observers as well as people across the country as a truly free, fair and just election.

“The success of this electoral process is another historic achievement of the Cambodian people in strengthening peace, the foundations of democracy, and accelerating the socio-economic development process, especially at the grassroots level development,” said Samdech Techo Hun Sen.
