Nhiek Bun Chhay (R) and Hun Sen (C)Royal Parties To Oppose CPP in Local Elections

Original report from Phnom Penh
24 December 2008
Funcinpec and the Norodom Ranariddh Party announced Wednesday the formation of an alliance to compete with the ruling Cambodian People's Party in provincial and district elections scheduled to be held in the coming year.
Funcinpec Secretary-General Nhiek Bunchhay said party officials had met to establish a commission "to discuss the strategic formula for helping each other in the 2009 nationwide election."
Funcinpec remains a partner with the CPP, with some of its members holding seats in government, but the CPP dominated all other parties in this year's national election, winning 90 of 123 National Assembly seats. Funcinpec and the NRP won four seats each, compared to 26 for the Sam Rainsy Party and three for the Human Rights Party.
Party officials said Wednesday they were confident an alliance would bolster their political support in the provinces. Both Funcinpec and the NRP traditionally draw support from royalist bases.
"If we add the members of the commune councils from the two parties,we will win more than 10 provinces and municipalities, and more districts," said NRP spokesman Suth Dina. The two parties would cooperate with each other by seeking to transfer voters where one party might be weaker than the other, he said.
CPP lawmaker Cheam Yiep said the alliance would not affect the CPP,"but we must all do our best to win the election."
Hang Puthea, director of the Neutral and Impartial Committee for Free and Fair Elections, called the alliance "a good sign" for the parties"for attracting the support of voters."
Party officials on both sides declined to speculate on future cooperation, with the next parliamentary election scheduled for 2013.

Funcinpec and NRP just to make comumist cpp stronger and legal to form a self-government. We ask SRP and HRP to keep fighting for democracy in Cambodia. Good luck to Democrat.
Congratulations to Samdech Decho Hun Sen Varman for your strongest leadership. Without Samdech Decho Hun Sen Varman Cambodia may be fallen in the hands of westerner. All of our political opponents are disappearing one after another. And we will crush SRP and HRP to disappearing from face of the Cambodia land. The policy of the win, win are really work so well for those hungry dogs. Chhke barang, chhke americ and chhke autralia.
if srokhmer want to be free from hanoi, khmer need to support the opposition for true democrazy!
Or else, cambodia faith will be like khmer krom.
5:43AM, learn to open your mind and your eyes looking at the world around you; especially look at all the small and the big developped coutries in the world. Do you know why all those countries can be developped and prosperous? It is because their leaders are very open-minded while you and your Hun Sen are tightly closed. Stop being intoxicated with pride because it cheapens you. People like you always think that you are the smartest and most knowledgeable. You are just like Hun Sen, no liking of wetern countries, especially America, but when it come to talking about money, you and your Hun Sen like doolars, right? "Samdech Dejo" means a great deal to kowtowing clown like you, but it means nothing to me. It's just a deceptive lable to fool a low-life rustic like Hun Sen and people like you.
There is one thing I can be sure of: Hun Sen is going to die. But what is he to make of that fact? With this knowledge in mind, will he accepts his mortal life?
I know he stated that he'll live 90more years? But, how can a man SO SURE that he will live pass 150 years old! Will his chain smoking prolonged his life as some CPPs believe so.
Is suicidal permissible for Hun Sen if HE KNEW THAT NO HUMAN HAS EVER LIVED 120 years!
5:43AM, what kind of chhke are you? You are Hun Sen's Chhke, right? Chhke baraing, chhke americ, and chhek australia are still much much better than chhke Hun Sen, becuase you've got only dried bones while the westerners'chhkes eat beef.
Agree with 6:20, and fuck 5:43AM!! yep, you 5:43! you like $$$ wright! stop being dumbass..where all the $$$ came from? stupid fuck!!
PM Hun Sen is the best for Cambodia just as Sin Sisamoth is the best for Cambodia music. They both will ruled Cambodia for eternity.
Hey, you idiot. Do you know who killed Sin Samouth? It was the Khmer Rouge Hun Sen. And there is no such as eternity.
In Scenario of political arena of Cambodia, there is incomparable opponent to defeat Samdech Decho Hun Sen. This is the biggest victory in the MODERM Cambodia's History. Even the Sangkum Reastr Nuyum of Sihanouk, The Funcinpec of Ranariddh, the NRP of Ranariddh are totally defeated. During Sihanouk Era Cambodian called Sihanouk "Samdech Ov" Today Cambodian called "Samdech Decho Hun Sen" who liberated Cambodian from the Dark-Age of Sihanouk and Pile of white bones from Pol Pot.
We Cambodian suggesting to the Congress and the Senate as follow:
By calling "Samdech Decho Hun Sen" we prefer to call him "Tavada Hun Sen" instead.
You got the wrong view of the fact. Hun Sen is not liberator. He is a puppet installed in power by Yuons. If you don't know the fact, you must have just come up from hell to drag Hun Sen with you back to hell after this new year, right?
. . .and you must have been living in hell for so long, that's why you see a savage and arrogant dictator like Hun Sen as your devada. Oh poor thing, you are very pathetic!
I agree that Hun Sen will be killed by one of his son-in-law. He will be the same like saddam Hussein who has killed all his son in law for rebelling against him. We knew now one of Hun Sen in law is in that situation. We will see !
cher ami,
Quelqu'un au Cambodge a eu appeler (M. Hun Sen) l'angle.
Pourquoi au Cambodge tous les roi, prince, princesse, Sdach, Samdech et maintenant Tevada?
Où sont les gens du commun? Hummm me font la merveille!
This is a funny picture... Looks like Hun Sen is farting and Niek Bun Chay is smelling Hun Sen fart and both are laughing like two monkeys.
with such mentality of this low life who sees khmer opposition as enemy how will khmer have peace and unity and develop ? no wonder hun xen bluff for war every election round.
if you understand democracy, opposition is part of the developemnt element working to adance teh freedom for all khmer people. without them, khmer people would be in fear, even among the cpp suckers.
Nope, one you are at top, you can't go higher. Opposition can only screw thing up. Just look at Sin Sisamoth, who can sing better than him? I hope Hun Sen will be here until he's 122.
5:43AM,
Being ruled by AH SAMDECH MAHA PLEUR HUN SEN, you've become narrow-minded, deluded, and sadly...a little uneducated about your own srok khmer and the true intentions of your lok thmil hun sen.
I feel bad for Cambodia and its people with people like you thinking the way you do. Sadly, Cambodia is coming to an end with folks like you.
Yeah, but we don't give a shit about your concern, Ah Lowlife (Donut Maker). So don't call us, let us call you instead, alright?
6:38 PM has been using this term quite often. "Lowlife" and "Donuts Maker."
For your information, in reality there are only a handful of Khmer in the U.S. are in donuts business. Many are educated and hold important jobs in government and in private sectors.
Judging from your speech and behavior, you probably qualify to sell donuts for those donuts makers here in the U.S..
And maybe 6:38 PM is one of those Viet troller Ph.D from Hanoi in disguise when s/he is running out of steam unable to think of what else to write to discredit KI-Media and its readers any more?...Ever think of that?
yeah, those low-life donut makers...

6:38 PM,
The more you post comments on KI-Media, the more it makes yourself sound like a deluded and complete idiot. Do you ever take the time to read and follow up on the unintelligent comments that you seem to conjure up?
For one thing, I truly believe you spend most of your time online (esp. on KI-Media) pretending every other day the roles of either a Khmer Surin, a CPP member, etc. etc. etc. in order to start online conflicts and make others pay attention to the comments that you post because you have this sorry state of needing attention.
You feel as if you are important, but you're not. Please do us a favor and get out of your parent's basement, find a job, and become a productive person. Once you earn enough money, enroll yourself at a university and get educated. While doing that, find yourself some help because you seem to have some sort of psychological complex.
Vive Hun Sen et Vive Nhiek Bun Chhay, les deux seuls vrais leaders du peuple Cambodgien. A bas la monarchie et tous ses parasites!
If Nhik Bun Chhay dare to challenge Hun Sen, he will be killed for operating Drugs in Kg Speu. He is a death duck already for having a drug manufacturing man.
These old politician should be retired, and let the young generation taking charge...new idea, new country, new upgraded!!
we're too old for these shits heads brains washes!!
i think we are much happier when we work together in harmony and cooperation, especilly consulting with one another after the election is done with. god bless cambodia and all our beautiful khmer people and citizens.
5:43 AM and he send his children overseas for education lol
Usually, parent doesn't send their children anywhere. It is the children who picked where to go for education. For instance, many people who interested in history chose Thailand. People, interested in agriculture may choose Vietnam, ....
