The CRPP was a royalist party, and Ranariddh stated in February 2015 that the party aligns itself to the political legacy of Norodom Sihanouk. The CRPP also stated that it directly competed for the voter base from the CNRP and FUNCINPEC, but not with the Cambodian People's Party (CPP). At the party's launching ceremony in March 2014, Ranariddh added that the CRPP would not seek to align itself with the CPP or CNRP. Ranariddh also expressed interest to resolve socioeconomic problems such as poverty, low wages and corruption, which he claimed were worsened by the effects of the political protests as a result of political differences between the CPP and CNRP. In June 2014, Ranariddh outlined several reform proposals at a party meeting for youths, such as reviewing 99-year land leases to identify illegal land concessions and helping more youths to seek employment locally.
