Unlike under Prince Ranariddh’s presidency, when he was the one who selected the candidates for the MP position, for the upcoming 2008 general election, the Funcinpec party has introduced a reform by voting to choose their MP candidates. Nhiek Bun Chhay, Funcinpec secretary-general, told a local newspaper that his party will hold a meeting at the party headquarters in Phnom Penh next month to proceed to the election of party MP candidates. Nhiek Bun Chhay said that Funcinpec representatives from village, commune and district levels will vote to form the candidate list for the 2008 general election. Nhiek Bun Chhay said that, in past elections, the candidates were single-handedly selected by Prince Ranariddh, then the party president before he was kicked out of power.
