Recent opposition merger tops agenda

The opposition Sam Rainsy Party and Human Rights Party will stick around until 2017, despite their leaders announcing that they will form a new political party this year, politicos said yesterday.

Speaking after the second congress of the Human Rights Party held in Phnom Penh and attended by about 2,000 members yesterday, spokesman Pol Horm said two working groups had been formed to examine how best to initiate members and candidates into the slated Cambodia Democratic Movement of National Rescue.

“When we form the new party, the main objective is to present our candidates under this new name. Mostly, the candidates are coming from SRP and HRP, and most of them are already in the National Assembly, and cannot leave to join the new party [or they] will lose their seats,” Horm said.

“This will also be a problem at the commune level – [elected members] cannot leave the party [they were elected under] because they will lose their seats.”


The congress was also attended by high-ranking leaders within the Sam Rainsy Party, including the planned secretary-general of the new National Rescue party, Mu Sochua, and current SRP spokesman Yim Sovann.

“The SRP and HRP will stay registered for six years until the term of the next Senate mandate and also the termination of the current commune councillor mandate in 2017,” Sovann said.

He added that as well as working out legal technicalities, the working groups would finalise the name of the party and the new party logo some time next week.

The two opposition parties are putting a heavy emphasis on differentiating the new party from the SRP and HRP.

“This new movement is the main door for other democratic politicians who wish to join a new movement but not to come through the HRP or the SRP,” Horm stressed.

“We welcome all politicians, even those ones [who] maybe do not like the HRP and the SRP, and this is the best way to come to move forward with us.”

Dear All,

The legal technicality is secondary, the heart of the
issues is that SRP and HRP are UNITED.
Furthermore, the newly merged party would invite other smaller opposition parties to joint in.
If the Movement momentum keeps getting stronger and stronger, we will WIN the election.
Long Live KHMER UNITY !!!

if they work together cooperatively, it means they are reformed, educated and learned and wiser and not stupid forever, etc. well, only time will tell. plus, it test their ability to lead, not stupid, ignorant by fighting among themselves, you know. i think people in cambodia khmer leaders should be educated and trained on ethics 101 and critical thinking 101 as well as social skills and communication skills. it's always good idea to learn to see things from many different angles instead of focusing only on only one angle of seeing and understand things, really. that's called being smart and wise and clever and enlightened, etc, ok! and of course, life experience helps too in your ability to see and understand everything and professionalism too helps, really!

I am now very happy to hear more and more Khmers agree to UNITE.
When we unite, we will vote OUT CPP, and get rid of the Hanoi' s pupet regime.
Once, the new elected Government is in place, we can fight against Yuon successfully.
Should Hanoi decide to invade our country, the new Khmer Government would request the UN to convene an emergency session to immediately impose a ceasefire.
Afterwards, we can even prosecute those Hanoi leaders at the International Criminal Courts at The Hague.
Hence, let's vote IN DMNS !!!
and vote OUT CPP !!!

Hopefully they don't fucking wasting their time by combining the two party. I still don't see how they gonna beat the crap out of the CPP.

Anonymous said...

in the beginning, it's not about beating whatever, ok. it's about reaching and getting more seats from voters, etc... it's really the voters they should try to impress and win the heart and mind, not so much on the competing politicians, ok. this is not the dark ages era anymore, you know. remember voters are now more educated and smarter than in the past, so behave yourself, people are watching your competency and effectiveness and reforms and education, etc, ok. so stop being stupid and primitive and outdated and ignorant forever, ok. show improvement and people will probably vote for your in the far future, really. just no stupid and uneducated and primitive and outdated system is allowed again.

The idiots, Kem Sokha's foolish blinds can't accept the fact that they had been fooled. Talking about critical decision making in life. These stupids will continue to live a stupid life, pick a wrong leader and follow him to a place known as a "NO-WHERE". Kem Sokha is ambitious - trained in communist bloc, Czeko, on a scholarship from Hun Sen. Any parties he joint became dissolution, destroyed from within. Was charged for corruptions as the head of Human Rights Org., case still pending before the court for how many years now? Isn't that seem fishy enough? Cooked up with Hun Sen during the last election to destroy Sam Rainsy, and now there is a revelation of fathering a child and extra-marital affairs in room 311. Too many stinky bags to carry - in politics he must resign, force to resign or HRP can't find an alternative, but to rely on one dirty personality. When the leader is stink everyone else run, and those who remain become a whole lot stinkier than they even realized. Get real, and save yourself some dignity, get a new leader that is less controversial as Mr. Kem. His political career is done, cooked. No money from abroad, except from a few die-hard of his following fools.

Now he has a son outside the house. Is that a leader whom many of his supporters are so proud of? This is nothing to write home about, really. HRP is financially bankrupt, and this time Hun Sen is not willing to throw a free bone. The good HRP people are moving on. They have their names tainted and it's not something they wanted to carry on. Good luck, Mr. Kem and those who think they can make something out of nothing. Don't throw your money in vain. You won't get 3 seats, next time. If HRP is lucky it will get one, at best. That would leave a lots of dreamers holding empty bags. Do your costs and benefits analysis, folks. Your risk has increased tremendously, do you still want to throw away your hard earned money and risk having your wife filing for a divorce? Think.....
