Prince Thomico, the delegate-general of the Sangkum Jatiniyum Front Party (SJFP), told RFA today that the unification of royalist parties in order to compete at the 2008 general election, is still facing complications.
Prince Thomico who undertook the task of gathering the royalists, claimed that even though the leaders from the 3 parties (NRP, Funcinpec, and SJFP) did not agree on the main points for the unification of the royalist parties yet, local Funcinpec members and supporters have already joined the NRP.
Prince Thomico added that there is a welcoming ceremony planned for these new NRP converts in the province of Prey Veng following the birthday celebration of King Sihamoni.
Prince Thomico said: “After the birthday celebration of King Sihamoni, I will organize a program starting from the province of Prey Veng, followed by Battambang, Kompong Speu, and in a number of other provinces, where Funcinpec party members from the local level and all the way to the district level will take part in the unification of the royalist family.”
Regarding this issue, Nouv Sovathero, Funcinpec spokesman, said that Funcinpec still preserves its strength both at the leadership and at the local levels. However, he said that Funcinpec cannot prevent anyone from switching their political allegiance to another party.
However, Nouv Sovathero asked his party members to think carefully before switching parties: “I am just calling all our party members to think carefully before deciding to leave Funcinpec.”
The movement to unite and departure from the so-called royalist party (Funcinpec) took place immediately after the recent commune election.

Royalist Unification? Who are you
trying to kid, you scumbag (SISOWAT
Thomico)? We all know a bunch of
royalists oversea are ready to cut
your throat, you motherfucker.
I agree with Mr Kem Sokha who has said" What are these royalists parties uniting for " For the benefit of royal families? No No No. They must put out on the table. What their main concern? For the general public ? That is yes. We cannot just unite to give bargainning power to Rannarith to sell all ministerial positions and then fleeing to France to enjoy his night life there. This time, the leader should be Mr Sam Rainsy or Mr Kem Sokha. But as Mr Sam Rainsy has more experienced, he should lead the big alliance of the democrates. Areak Prey
Snap out of it, 4:33. We don't need
no Lon Nol 2 in Cambodia. We are
doing fine as it is, no sign of
destruction in sight as in the
70's!
All I see is destruction of land, human life, diplaced poor people, and Power. That is all I can come up. Someone chime IN.
How can you let his royal junk and his immoral prick to run the country??
it is easy you prick just bark!
All the Royalists are no more than worms in our human organs. They sucked all our nutrients and will make our full body criple and then die. This family has breeded all animal like offsprings. they did nothing nothing good fro their country and their citizen. Marshal Lon Nol and all Republicans have protected them all their lives long and still branded them as traitors. Now the Soul of Marshal Lon Nol is already in heaven, Sihanouk is still not happy with him. He should follow his soul there and fignting for his own justice. Is it true?
Wrong, Ah criminals Lon Nol and
SISOWAT Sarimatak ain't in no
heaven. They are currently serving
eternal lifetime in Hell.
