Phnom Penh - The son of Lon Nol, who overthrew then-prince Norodom Sihanouk in a 1970 coup before losing power to the Khmer Rouge, has announced he would return his family to the Cambodian political arena, local media said Tuesday.
The Khmer-language Rasmei Kampuchea newspaper quoted a spokesman for Lon Rithi's newly registered Khmer Republican Party as saying the party would compete in the 2008 national elections.
'Lon Rithi will put his leg back into Cambodia,' the newspaper quoted Nhean Preah as saying.
Propped up by US aid, the Lon Nol government held out nearly five years until Phnom Penh was overrun by the Khmer Rouge in April 1975 and he fled to Hawaii. He died in exile in the United States in 1985, and Lon Rithi, 47, is a resident of Long Beach, California.
Against the backdrop of a war in neighbouring Vietnam, Lon Nol's regime was widely blamed for sanctioning some of the worst purges of ethnic Vietnamese in the history of the country prior to the Khmer Rouge's brutal Democratic Kampuchea regime.
The political platform of his son's party were not immediately clear.

Dear Lon Rith,
I think you come in a wrong place & wrong time.
You are just becoming a new "PROP" of Youn & Hun Sen's Democracy image .That's all I can say.
Wish you a good Luck !
Cheers,
Bun H.Ung
An old dinasour who you used to draw your Father ,1970-1975.

KHMENG WAT KHNONG SROK
I support Bun Heang Ung 100%. I think Long Rith shouldn't involved in the political competition now. He should represent his father, Republican and try to unite all republican former Ministers and government officials to take Sihanouk to the owrld court for bringing KR to kill
-All National armies and National Police force.
-All Cambodian academic,
-Destroyed all Cambodia National Institutions,
-Killed all Cambodian intellectuals
-Destroyed all Cambodian National infrastructures.
-Killed three millions Cambodian civilians.
-Allowed Vietcong to invade Cambodia in 1979 to steal all National treasures, wealth and resourse.
-Destroyed Cambodian families lives and separation their families.
Long Rith should make this firm and strong to built up his profile.
Now he comes to Hun Sen shoes to prove that he is very selffish and ignored all the sufferings of all the people who have supported his father !!!
TO KMENG WAT KNONG ROUN
YOU ARE REALLY 100% youn on the net
I know where you are
You should do against your Hanoi regime who is communist regime that don't permit right to express ideas in order to turn it on democraty in your country (vietnam)
POLITIC is substitute VIOLENT
For Khmer people to form a political party is a healthy thing. My Father said before 1970. No one can form a political party. So many people went underground to form group again Gonv. by taking arms into the wood.
Today political party are welcome in Cambodia. Politic use word, but Violent use guns. Let the contest start, who ever win get the title.
Bati
April 17th.1975, Cambodia was hyjacking by a strange government called " Angkar ".
Cambodian survivor must unite and bring those hyjackers to trail.
Lon Rithy should be the first man to lead this campaigne and then will talk about politic. Otherwise no vote for you son! not, yet.
Lon Rithy must look back and look really hard to see how many innocent people were killled, all because they worked for his father's government. What did those people do beside doing their daily things? and go on about their lives? You tell us o.k?
LON RITHY SHOULD KNOW EVERYTHING AND WHAT HAPPENED TO 2 MILLIONS CAMBODIAN BETWEEN THE YEAR OF 1975 AND JANUARY OF 1979. THAT IS HE THINKS HE IS THE REAL SON OF THE REAL FIRST MAN OF " MR. LON NOL " OTHERWISE, HE IS JUST ANOTHER DINOSAUR WITH BRIAN ON ITS POSTERIOR.
2 MILLIONS CAMBODIAN DIED ALL BECAUSE THEY WORKED AND LIVED IN CAMBODIA BETWEEN THE YEAR OF 1970 AND 1975 AND HIS FATHER WAS THE PRESIDENT OF CAMBODIA!
2 MILLIONS OF US PAID WITH OUR LIVES TO THE CRIME WE DID NOT COMMIT OR AT LEAST INNOCENTLY JUST PEOPLE WHO LIVED AND WORKED IN THE LAND OF CAMBODIA DURING THAT TIME. IS THAT CLEAR TO YOU MR. LON RITHY?!!!!!!!!!
YOUR REAR END NEEDS TO MOVE WITH THOSE WHO DEVOTED THEIR TIMES, HEARTS AND SOULS TO GET THE KR'S TRIAL MOVING! AND YOU? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?!!!!!!
OR DO WE NEED TO GET A HAMMER AND POUND IT RIGHT ON YOUR HEAD?
KHMENG WAT KHNONG WAT
KHMER THEIU KY... STOP BARKING!
SHOW YOUR TRUE IDENTITY TO UNCLE SAM RIAN SHIT PARTY...
WRONG!!!! I AM 100% KHMER NOT YOUN. AS YOU ARE 100% KHMER THEIU KEE AND KHMER DREAMER OF REPUBLIC OF BANANAS!
KHMENG WAT KHNONG SROK
Hun Sen and Lon Rith VS Sihanouk clan.
Time to revive the old wound and score some points.
YOU ARE ONLY 100% KHMER and I AM 200% KHMER ANGKOR RACE. SO I AM MORE 100% PURELY THAN YOU. YOU GOT THAT POOR LITTLE KHMENG WAT BOYS. TRY TO THINK AND PLAY HARDER.
Is he only 47 years old? It's really strange while his father was almost 50 years older.
Anyway, it is his right to participate in the politic. However he should make a clear perspective, Cheng Heng proved the failure, Lok Ta Son San also failed. Youn Hun Sen will not allow you to grow if you can't control your own team.
Ah pouk "Khmeng wat skong srok" came from youn Hanoi to blame Khmer as Thiev Ki. They are concerned that when all khmer return home, they will be forced to leave cambodia back to youn through the immigration law.
