What Tararidh said — saying there is an opposition party is misleading, Cambodia is a single party state at the moment and for the foreseeable future. All "opposition" parties are currently puppets to make it appear there's a diversity of choices, but the CNRP was the main viable one and that was dissolved by court order in the fall of 2017.
