The Khmer Power Party (KPP; Khmer: គណបក្សអំណាចខ្មែរ) is a Cambodian pro-American political party founded on 18 March 2010 by Cambodian-American Sourn Serey Ratha.[3] It did not officially register until March 2015.[4] The party is in favor of abolishing the monarchy, and establish a second Khmer Republic government.[5]
Serey Ratha was charged and put in jail in August 2016 for criticizing the government’s deployment of troops to the Laos border.[6] He then received a royal pardon a year later[7] But Sophorn refused to restore him as president[8] but will give him a title of honorary president instead. Serey Ratha than threatened to file a complaint against Sophorn for allegedly forging public documents to secure the title of party president.[9] Serey Ratha has also asked the Interior Minister to inspect a letter dated September 2017 allegedly forged by Sophorn to appoint himself as president without consent. Later both of them establish a new Party, Serey Ratha form Khmer Reform Party whiled Sophorn form Khmer Win Party. Both of them claim as the Successor of Khmer Power Party.
