Prince Sisowath Thomico, who just returned back from joining monkhood, said that he still maintains his meetings with NRP leaders in order to unite the royalists from the Funcinpec and NRP parties. However, the prince revealed that Prince Norodom Sirivudh (King-Father’s half brother) and Princess Norodom Vacheara (King-Father’s half sister) will not present their candidacy for any political party if they are defeated in trying to unite Funcinpec and NRP.

Prince Thomico said that, at this time, Prince Sirivudh and Princess Vacheara agree to remain quiet so that they can negotiate with him (Thomico). The prince and princess push for a unity and reconciliation between Funcinpec and the NRP. Prince Thomico said that if there is no rapprochement and unity (between Funcinpec and the NRP), Princess Vacheara, Prince Sirivudh, and himself (Thomico) will not present their candidacy for neither the Funcinpec nor the NRP during the upcoming 2008 general election, in order to avoid showing their support for one group or another.

Prince Thomico warned that: “If there is no unity and no reconciliation among the royalists, both the NRP and Funcinpec will be rotten.” The prince added that both parties should not hope to win at the 2008 general election, if there is no unity among the royalists, and if the breakup still persists, the royalist movement will be disintegrated.

In his attempt to merge the NRP and Funcinpec, Prince Thomico continues to meet with NRP leaders, however, the prince declined to reveal the names of the NRP leaders whom he met. Nevertheless, the prince indicated that, through these meetings, NRP leaders also want to see the unity, but because Prince Ranariddh was toppled by Nhiek Bun Chhay and Lu Lay Sreng’s clan, Prince Thomico said that Funcinpec leaders must be consulted again to find out about their clear standings, and this issue will be then be presented to the king for his intervention in this unity.

Prince Thomico added that Prince Ranariddh is calling for various parties to unite, therefore, he (Thomico) has difficulties following Prince Ranariddh in the event that there is no possibility of unity with Funcinpec which consists of royalists also.

Muth Chantha, NRP spokesman, said that, recently, Prince Ranariddh called for a unity among the royalists and the democrats, in order to provide a clear (alternative) choice for the upcoming 2008 general election. He also added that Prince Ranariddh did not name any particular political party. Therefore, any political party which supports Prince Ranariddh’s call, can discuss with NRP on this issue. Muth Chantha said that Prince Ranariddh will not abandon the fighters in the Funcinpec party.

Doesn't this scumbag (thomico) knew that the FUNCINPEC has already nominated their PM already?
