The Liberal Democratic Party was a Cambodian political party founded in May 1990[1] by Sak Sutsakhan, a former commander in the Khmer People's National Liberation Armed Forces.[2] The party was notably the first political party in Cambodia to hold a party congress following the 1991 Paris Peace Agreements.[1]

History

The party was created after infighting between Sutsakhan and

Phnom Penh Olympic Stadium.[1]

The Liberal Democratic Party won 62,698 votes (1.6%) in the 1993 national election,[3] failing to win a single seat in the National Assembly.[4]
