Cambodia's Prince Ranariddh Officially Restarts Political Career

PHNOM PENH, Dec 11 (Bernama) -- Cambodia's Prince Norodom Ranariddh returned to politics on Saturday after more than two years' departure, vowing to reunite royalists for the national election in 2013, China's Xinhua news agency reported.

The Nationalist Party changed its name to its original name Norodom Ranariddh Party and unanimously elected Prince Norodom Ranariddh as the president of the party at its general assembly on Saturday with 500 deputies present, according to the party's press release.

"I agreed to reenter politics to lead the party in order to reunite the real royalists and Sihanoukists who have been split a part to join the party to construct the nation, to build a national unification, to protect sovereignty, territorial integrity, and to develop the nation in all domains," the prince told the general assembly.



The prince said that the party will hold "the middle stance", not act as the opposition party, but re-mobilise the royalists and cooperate with the ruling Cambodian People's Party to build the nation.

The prince announced in October 2008 his complete resignation from politics after his Norodom Ranariddh Party won only two seats in the National Assembly in general election in July 2008. The party then changed its name to the Nationalist Party.

The National Assembly is made up of 123 lawmakers from Cambodian People's Party of Prime Minister Hun Sen, opposition Sam Rainsy Party, Human Rights Party, FUNCINPEC Party, and Norodom Ranariddh Party.

The Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP) was established in 2007 after the prince was toppled from the president of the royalist FUNCINPEC Party in 2006.

Prince Ranariddh is now a president of the supreme advisory council to King Norodom Sihamoni.

Cambodia's Prime Minister Hun Sen warned Thursday he would propose to King Norodom Sihanomi to revoke Prince Norodom Ranariddh's role as the president of the supreme advisory council to King Norodom Sihamoni if the prince reenters politics.

Prince Ranariddh is the son of former King Norodom Sihahouk and is the elder brother of the present King Norodom Sihamoni. He had been the first prime minister in 1993 and the president of the National Assembly in 1998.

In democratic system, all members of all political parties must surrender or resign all their public positions before they can sign up as a member of any political party. Therefore, all rpyal family members have resigned their title as a prince or princess before they can sign up as a member of a party. That is also applying to Hun sen and all his friends in the police force and in the military force and other public servants, must resign from their position first before they can join as a member of a party. They are working for public office such as government ministry, police or military leader and are supporting a political party, they must be prosecuted and be fired for breaching democracy system.
The office of National Election Commision must declare this rule and must enforce this rule so that Democracy system can get root from earlier stage.

N. Ranaridth, like his siblings and family, are a waste of the national budget. Whatever they do is for their own personal gain and not the nation. Unfortunately, this is alos true for all Khmer leaders, past and present.

The former King, current King and all bloody royalist families include Ranariddh are responsible for the suffering of Khmer people and destroy our beloved motherland. The quick they die the better for our nation.

These basdards worsen than dogs.

AH " under 10 man" or AH " Min KROUP Teuk" Phd Ranaridh.

By creating the so-called
" Royalist Party", you are creating the Republicans. You are crasy, people who don't vote for you, even the CPP members, are not Republicans. But It's you who let them feel no- Royalists or Republicans. You are pushing them to be anti-royalist or Republicans.

It's better for for to stay away from politic and spent your time kissing Ouk Phalla's Pussy.

cambodia, be careful with the old way and old people, they never learned. let the younger, more educated generation of khmer lead the country for changes, reforms, etc... the older folks are about bad attitude more than the interest and better future of the country and people. so be careful, who you favored or voted for, that's all! yes, cambodia can use new thinking and new mindset, etc... that's all!
