The Cambodian People's Party formerly the Kampuchean People's Revolutionary Party is the current ruling party of Cambodia. It was the sole legal party in the country at the time of the People's Republic of Kampuchea (1979–1989) and during the first two years of the State of Cambodia. Its name was changed during the transitional times of the State of Cambodia, when the single-party system, as well as the Marxist-Leninist ideology were abandoned. Having governed Cambodia since 1979, it is one of the longest-ruling parties in the world. Its main rival and counterpart is the Cambodia National Rescue Party
The General Secretary of the party from 1979 to December 5, 1981 was Pen Sovan. The KPRP was originally a Marxist-Leninist party, although it took on a more reformist outlook in the mid-1980s under Heng Samrin's leadership. In the 1990s, the KPRP officially dropped its commitment to socialist ideology altogether when it renamed itself the Cambodian People's Party. Since the 2013 election, the party maintains a slim majority in the National Assembly and an outright majority in the Senate. Hun Sen, the Prime Minister of Cambodia, serves as the party's President.
The WPK is committed to Juche, and at the 4th Conference (held in 2012) the party charter was amended to state that Kimilsungism–Kimjongilism was "the only guiding idea of the party". At the 3rd Conference (held in 2010) the WPK removed a sentence from the preamble expressing the party's commitment "to building a communist society", replacing it with a new adherence to songun, that is, "military-first", policies. Party ideology has recently focused on perceived imperialist enemies of the party and state, and on legitimizing the Kim family's dominance of the political system.
