THE ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) is set to expand its efforts to organise youth in a bid to shore up support ahead of elections in 2012 and 2013, officials said Wednesday.
Cheam Yeap, a senior CPP lawmaker, said the party would soon establish youth quick reaction units (YQRUs) down to the commune level in order to curb the opposition’s appeal.
“The CPP is now starting to establish volunteer youth quick reaction units in every commune, district and province across the country,” he said. “They will play a role responding to political propaganda and attacks from the other political parties.”
Cheam Yeap said the units, which will augment the party’s central Youth Working Group, will work to educate other youths about the CPP’s platform.
