In the capital, some 10,000 supporters of the ruling CPP organised a big rally to present their political agenda.

The campaign will run for a week until 24 May 2024

CPP President Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen this morning sent a clear message to his party members and supporters: run the election campaign peacefully for a free and fair election.

The CPP president also demanded that they strictly respect the election laws, regulations, procedures and ethics.
