At least 77 opposition members and activists from one commune in Preah Vihear province have requested to move to the ruling Cambodian People’s Party, officials said Monday.
“This is true information because the list is in my hands,” said Yan Ran, governor of Preah Vihear’s Kulen district, where Sam Rainsy Party members of Tbeng Pi commune have requested the switch.
The members will be granted CPP admission May 25, he said.
CPP first deputy chief of the commune, Prum Khet, said at least 28 members, led by former SRP commune deputy chief So Huon, have been issued ruling party membership cards.
So Huon and other reported defectors were not immediately available for comment.
Long Ry, an SRP official in charge of Preah Vihear affairs, said the defections, if true, could have been coerced.
“If there is such a defection, I think that it would have been a threat against those SRP people, such as threatening them to vote for [the CPP],” he said.
Prime Minister Hun Sen has repeatedly welcomed defections from the opposition, promising to provide those who change affiliation with positions within the government and ruling party.

Letter to the Kwack and his CPP,
Sir! I wanted to defect to the CPP as well. How can I qualified to be a member of CPP? What are the qualifications? Who do I need to kill? What will my position and salary be?
My qualifications are:
Educations: None, Can't daer or etirw just like CPP.
Special educations: a little Duh, but better than CPP.
Skills: 1. Can toss grenade from 5 to 15 feet with your support. 2. Can shoot from a moving motorcycle if trained properly by CPP. 3. Can kill at will without cause, even my favorite Karaoke stars.
I am loyal and will never implicate any CPP members under any circumstances. Even though the judge and the prosecutors are working for you, I promised not to lie under oath.
I do have a question! If I am hired, will I be allowed to do land grabbing? How soon will I be able to obtain my license to kill and my Get out of Jail Free cards. Will my employment last after the elections?
You promise?
Thank You for you time.
Sincerely,
ALL SRP who defected to CPP
