Political Party(29th Jan. – 02nd Feb., 2024)
The National Power Party (NPP) has branded the Candlelight Party (CP) as a dictatorial party, which used its power to force its elected commune councillors to vote for a political party that they disliked in a veiled reference to Khmer Will Party.
Two more Candlelight Party officials have been arrested for using forged documents to register people’s names without their consent to reserve them as candidates for councilor posts. The arrests bring the total number of opposition leader detention to four so far in January 2024.
