Annotation: In addition to the official authorities, opposition is always present in any state formation. It can be part of the political system and take part in de-termining the direction of state development, or be repressed and fight for the right to exist. Opposition parties in Cambodia have historically struggled to participate equally in the political process since their inception. This article examines the state of political opposition in Cambodia after the restoration of the monarchy in 1993 and to the present day, in order to determine its status at this stage and future prospects.
