Quick Glance: Insights into Cambodia's Election
- Cambodia is set to hold an election on Sunday, with the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) expected to secure another victory.
- Approximately 9.7 million out of Cambodia's 16 million population are eligible to vote for the national assembly.
- Aside from the CPP, there are 17 other parties running, but none have the influence or resources to challenge the ruling party.
- In the 2013 election, the CPP faced its biggest challenge when it won less than half of the votes, closely followed by the newly formed Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), which gained popularity among the youth, trade unions, and some disillusioned CPP supporters.
