Hun Manet Leads First Election Campaign

PHNOM PENH: After receiving the flag of the Cambodian People's Party from his father, CPP President and Prime Minister Hun Sen, Gen. Hun Manet led the election campaign parade on Saturday, July 1 alongside his wife. This is the first time Gen. Hun Manet has led the parade in Phnom Penh as he is the first candidate listed by the CPP for one of the city’s 12 National Assembly seats up in this month’s election.

Saturday’s CPP rally began with an opening ceremony on Koh Pich and continued through Phnom Penh, with supporters marching through the streets and riding in official convoys equipped with megaphones, music and flags to promote their campaign policies. CPP supporters wear white and blue shirts with a flower logo. People joined the parade on motorbikes, bicycles and cars bearing the CPP logo and the number ‘18’, which is the CPP’s ballot number.

The rally emphasized the CPP’s eight main policies it intends to implement from 2023-2028, including promoting safety in villages, communes, and districts; providing public services to people with transparency and convenience; continuing to build trust; not levying taxes on family farmland; and eliminating fees for small-time market sellers.

They also focused on expanding health care access; creating opportunities for vocational training; increasing the salaries of civil servants and laborers, and promoting the protection of workers' rights and interests in the system; strengthening the management of immigrants; continuing to provide cash support to poor and vulnerable families during the fight against Covid-19; and improving maternity and child support programs for poor families.

As always, they vowed to maintain peace, security, order and social security to ensure the safety of the people and the development of the nation.
