General elections were held in Cambodia on 23 March 1958. [1] The Sangkum party received all but 409 of the 1.6 million votes, [2] winning all 61 seats in the National Assembly.
Cambodia, officially the Kingdom of Cambodia, is a country located in the southern portion of the Indochina peninsula in Southeast Asia. It is 181,035 square kilometres in area, bordered by Thailand to the northwest, Laos to the northeast, Vietnam to the east and the Gulf of Thailand to the southwest.
The Sangkum Reastr Niyum, literally the "community of the common people", was a political organisation set up in 1955 by Prince Norodom Sihanouk of Cambodia. Though it described itself as a 'movement' rather than a political party, the Sangkum retained control of the government of Cambodia throughout the first administration of Sihanouk, from 1955 to 1970.
