Hun Sen predicts hasty demise of new opposition alliance
PHNOM PENH, Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen has warned that the recent alliance of two main opposition parties will not last, national media reported on Thursday.
The Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) and the Human Rights Party (HRP), which are two main opposition parties in the Cambodian National Assembly (NA), agreed last week in principle to establish a political alliance called the Democratic Movement of Change (DMC) for the upcoming elections.
"When I want (the alliance) to separate, they will be separated," English-language newspaper the Phnom Penh Post quoted the premier as saying on Tuesday in Oddar Meanchey province.
"I would like to tell you that now one-third of their members have defected to the Cambodian People's Party (CPP)," he said.
Hun Sen belongs to CPP, which is the major ruling party.
"I am never scared of these mergers. Do not say that an alliance will cause CPP to fall," he added.
The DMC is a new political force to lead and advance the country to have prosperity, according to the joint statement issued by both parties.
The upcoming elections include the 2012 commune councils election and the 2013 general election.
"Our candidates will be registered to represent only one party in polling constituency," SRP president Sam Rainsy and HRP president Kem Sokha told reporters at a press conference.
"We will walk on the non-violent and legal strategies for political actions," Sam Rainsy said, adding that the movement does not oppose any individual or parties.
Meanwhile, Khem Sokha appealed to intellectuals and democratic supporters to join the DMC for upcoming elections.
In last year's general election, CPP won some 90 seats, SRP 26 and HRP 3 in all the 123 seats in NA.

She's right AH CHKEA ANGGAY SI 11:25 AM ..
Why khmer opposition party still the same leader every ellection day? They have to change the opposition leader party to a new one,if they want to bid out of cpp.You have to look at USA they change every four years.Who want to kick out of situation government?
I heard the recent US president Obama speach regarding change/hope to meet goal of his country in resolving national issues. There is a good reason why the US constitution set a 2 term for each president. This is to ensure they get the best brain are in power to achieved the country goals. At the same time if you have a dud president they know that he or she will only last a maximum of two term. Meaning they have time to recovered their country from going to the wrong direction.
In contrst Cambodia our PHD Mr. Hun Sen has been in power too long, it mean the direction of the country can take a wrong direction and the longer in power the far away cambodia are from it original goal. It make good sense for cambodia to change it leadership on a regular basis to encorage new idea and directions for the country whether in CPP or in SRP or HRP...
Khmer will never have a decent leaders!!! When thugs leading the country impunity are normed.
Well, that is not how the world see it.
Hun Sen is NOT invincible and removable.
Wait when Chea Sim or Heng Samrin died,then Hun Sen will not have any more big brother or father to fend off for his arrogant and insolent politics.
Too many Genrals wanted to roast Hun Sen for Lunar Fest but Chea Sim and Heng Samrin begged them not to for now.
The same members that deffected to the cpp is the same members who gonna bring the cpp down. Cause those members is not loyal to anyone and not even themself.
Well, the same thing could be said about the SRP or the DMC defector. Thus, your point is nonsense.
Wishful thinking,Hun Sen forgot what's going up must crashing down,the higher it goes the harder blow it will get.
Wrong, once you reached space, you ain't gonna fall back down.
Potato diggers are such idiots.
Hok Lundy will come to drag Hun Sen to hell with during the Khmer New Year's day.
Yes, Hok Lundy is in hell, beibg asked by the Devil judge about who else have harmed and hurt Khmer people. When the judgement is over, Hok Lundy will lead all the devils to drag all of Hun Sen's and others'criminals to hell.
We want Hun Sen!
We want Hun Sen!
We want Hun Sen!
