The ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) has on 28th June celebrated the 59th anniversary of its foundation at its central headquarter in Phnom Penh and declared its support for Mr. Hun Sen's prime ministerial candidacy in future elections, reports Cambodian Express News.

In a speech during the closing of the congress, Mr. Chea Sim (pictured), president of the CPP, solemnly declared that the CPP unwittingly supports Mr. Hun Sen's prime ministerial candidacy in future elections.

According to Mr. Chea Sim's speech, the CPP was founded on 28th June 1951 and known then as the "Khmer People's Revolutionary Party" or "Pak Pracheachun" to fight for independence from France. It came to power on 7th January 1979 when the Vietnamese invading forces propped it up after they toppled the Khmer Rouge regime. After the Paris Peace Accords, it changed its name to the Cambodian People's Party in 1991.
