Cambodian political party

The League for Democracy Party (LDP; Khmer: គណបក្សសម្ព័ន្ធដើម្បីប្រជាធិបតេយ្យ) is a Cambodian political party which was formed on 15 July 2005. The party itself, however, was established on 26 June 2006. Its leader is Khem Veasna. Its stated goal is to have "A Nation in Which We Live in Equity As Its Owner." Its main mission is to implement the party's "eight Mechanisms" as legal instruments to "reduce the power of the government and bring power back to the citizens."

History

The League for Democracy Party (LDP) was formed on 15 July 2005 by a small group of people who had similar ideas and perceptions to solve Cambodia's social and political issues.

The founders filed the procedure to establish the League for Democracy Party in accordance with the law and regulations relating to the establishment of political parties. The LDP was recognized, established, and registered officially with the announcement of the Ministry of Interior, 792 ប្រ.ក. Dated 26 June 2006.

The 2nd LDP Ordinary Congress

Some 5,000 supporters turned out for the congress of the League for Democracy Party in Phnom Penh on Koh Pich (Diamond Island).

Khem Veasna, a former member of the Sam Rainsy Party who founded LDP in 2005, was again endorsed as its leader.

In the 2012 commune council election, LDP won eight commune council seats. This was minor, however, compared to the seats gained by the major parties; from the CPP's 8,000 seats down to the Norodom Ranariddh Party's 52. LDP's tally nonetheless set it apart from the other small parties, all of which won at most one seat."

The party has been steadily growing since it was founded in 2005 and is standing for 2017 election in 844 communes – more than half of the Kingdom’s total 1,646.

Political ideology

The party is considered left wing in its view since it believes that "all" Ca

In this Cambodian name, the surname is Khem. In accordance with Cambodian custom, this person should be referred to by the given name, Veasna.

Khem Veasna (Khmer: ខឹម វាសនា[kʰəmʋiəsnaː]; born 11 December 1965) is a Cambodian politician, the founder of the League for Democracy Party, and an alleged cult leader. He currently serves as the president of the League for Democracy Party (LDP).

Formerly, he was a member of the Sam Rainsy Party, and was listed as a nominee since 1998 but not elected until the 2003 National Assembly Election, when he became a member of the National Assembly for Prey Veng province. In 2005, he formed a political party called the League for Democracy Party.

In politics: 1998–present

In his engagement as a politician, initially, Veasna was a member of the Sam Rainsy Party, listed as a nominee since 1998 but not elected. Later, in 2003 he was elected as a representative for Prey Veng Province. As a representative of the Sam Rainsy Party, he held two offices, one in Ba Phnum District and another in Me Sang District. At that time he was 38 years old. He had started doing politics since before 1998, but he started understanding how to do it in the middle of second term.

Later, in 2005 he formed a political party called the League for Democracy Party. The party has been growing since it was founded in 2005 and has placed candidates in 844 communes – more than half of the Kingdom's total 1,646 – in the 2017 commune elections.

In the Sam Rainsy Party

Veasna was expelled from a program run by the National Democratic Institute due to a statement which was perceived as an insult to the monarchy, and as a potential violation of the Cambodian constitution. Veasna received criticism from his party members, including Sam Rainsy, who issued a statement of condemnation. Veasna defended himself saying that he did not mean to attack the monar

About an hour’s drive from Siem Reap city, a gated farmstead lies just a few kilometers from Kulen mountain.

Signs on the property’s front fence forbid photos or recordings of the site, which otherwise looks like almost any other countryside estate in an area dotted with pepper, durian and mango plantations. But the stretch of land beyond the gate is no ordinary farm, and the signs out front give no hint of the fact that recording is a major activity at this place.

The property in Tbeng commune works as a key set for the regular programming of Khem Veasna, the firebrand head of the League for Democracy Party (LDP). The party, a vocal but relatively minor opposition, announced on March 5 that it would boycott Sunday’s commune election. LDP spokesman E Sangleng said the party had faced unfair treatment from the National Election Committee (NEC), which he rejected as politically compromised.

As part of its election coverage, VOD reached out to the party spokesman in the month before the polls to see if Veasna would discuss the future of the party, which has hinted at transitioning away from politics to become a social movement.

However, E Sangleng shut down the option of speaking with the president or other party officials, adding that they’d said all they wanted on social media.

“There’s nothing more to talk about here,” he said. “The LDP has already explained everything.”

Still, despite the hours of video available online of Veasna speaking and lecturing his followers — mostly on the dharma, or Buddhist teachings — the path for LDP remains unclear.

Veasna has long advocated for democracy, rule of law, and what he has called a true Buddhist path. He is known as a loud critic of both the ruling party as well as opposition figures Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha, whom he has denounced as useless.

A long-time radio personality who has in recent years turned to digital channels, Veasna’s policy platform centered on what he calls the eight political principles.
