The
Cambodian People's Party (,
Kanakpak Pracheachon Kâmpuchéa), formerly the
Kampuchean People's Revolutionary Party (,
KPRP), 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.
