By the end of May 2019, 42 (forty-two) political parties have registered in accordance with
the Law on Political Parties and have been working without obstruction or threat.
To improve the political environment, democratic space and the exercise of the legitimate
rights and freedoms of all citizens in accordance with the Constitution, especially in the spirit
of national reconciliation, the law on the amendment to Article 45 new (bis) of the Law on
Political Parties was passed and promulgated under Royal Decree NS/RKM/0119/001 dated
2 January 2019 permitting individuals previously banned from political activities by the
Supreme Court to seek the restoration of their political rights.
In order to facilitate the restoration, the Ministry of Interior issued Circular No. 003 dated 21
February 2019 on the Form and Procedure for Restoration.
To date, 09 (nine) persons banned by the court from political activities have been reinstated
by the Royal Decree. One of them requested to create a new political party named the
“Conservative Khmer Party”.

Paragraph 7, the Dissolved CNRP and 118 Former-CNRP Leaders
Banned from Political Activities (page 4)
Pursuant to the laws of the Kingdom of Cambodia, the Supreme Court dissolved the
Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) and banned 118 former-CNRP leaders from
political activities, based on the Law on Political Parties and a wide range of facts with
substantial corroborative evidence of conspiracy with foreigners for number of years,
especially in 2013-2014 until this party was dissolved in November 2017 when colour
revolution plots were planned to overthrow the legitimate government. The dissolution of the
CNRP was to dissolve the organisation and structure of colour revolutionary movements with
the aim of protecting the Constitution, monarchy, democracy, national sovereignty, security,
social stability and peace, providing the foundations for socio-economic development.
Although the CNRP was dissolved, the process of democracy and free elections remains in
conformity with the Constitution of the Kingdom of Cambodia. As a matter of fact, 20
political parties took part in the 2018 general election, with different political tendencies and
ideologies. The election was conducted in a smooth and non-violent manner, and 83.02% of
the population whose names were listed in the voter registration lists went to cast their votes
so as to decide upon their destinies.
