Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'political' (relating to politics) modifies 'program' (a plan or document of proposals), so the phrase denotes a plan/document about political aims and policies. This modifier+noun pattern is common across languages and standard in English, so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the intended meaning.
Etymology
The phrase political program comes from the idea of a program as a written public plan or notice that shows what a group will do. So a political program is a public plan that lists a party's 'aims', 'principles', and 'policies'.
