"However, the CNRP still keeps the name of Sam Rainsy as the candidate of Prime Minister if the party wins the upcoming election."
PHNOM PENH, May 11 (Xinhua) -- Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen on Saturday welcomed the kingdom's opposition party Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) for its final decision to register for July's general election.
"I congratulate the opposition party for having its party and candidates registered with the National Election Committee (NEC) in order to join race in the general election on July 28," the premier said during the inauguration of a praying hall in a Buddhist pagoda in northern Kampong Chhnang province. "Previously, the opposition party threatened to boycott the election, but now, it showed clearly that they joined it."
The opposition party has repeatedly accused the NEC of being biased towards the ruling Cambodian People's Party of Prime Minister Hun Sen and failing to accurately register voters for the upcoming election.
Ho Vann, deputy chief of the CNRP's disciplinary committee, said Saturday that the CNRP officially registered with the NEC on Friday to contest in the upcoming poll, but the name of its self- exiled leader Sam Rainsy has been omitted from its registration because the election body has deleted Sam Rainsy's name from the voter registry since November on the grounds that he is a convicted criminal.
Sam Rainsy, 63, fled the country in late 2009 before Cambodian court sentenced him to 11 years in prison in absentia for two charges--removing border poles and publishing a false map of the border with Vietnam and accusing Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Hor Namhong of being a member of the Democratic Kampuchea, or known as Khmer Rouge.
Ho Vann said, "However, the CNRP still keeps the name of Sam Rainsy as the candidate of Prime Minister if the party wins the upcoming election."
The CNRP was formed in September last year by the amalgamation of two opposition parties--the Sam Rainsy Party and the Human Rights Party.
NEC's Secretary General Tep Nytha said Friday that six political parties have registered with the NEC to run in the upcoming election, adding the exact number will be released next Monday, which is the deadline of the registration for political parties.
The country is scheduled to hold a general election for the 123- seat parliament on July 28. Some 9.67 million Cambodians are eligible to cast their ballots.

IF THE CPP WIN THE ELECTION THIS TIME, IT MEAN THAT CAMBODIA WILL BE THE 2nd LAOS UNDER YOUN IN INDOCHINA. NAME OF KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA WILL BE KINGDOM OF SLAVE VIET.
The hanoi puppet CPP alway have tricks up their sleeves.
The goal is selfish gain and serves their master vietcong.
Il est aussi le traite. Demande lui combien de maisons ou d'appartement qu'il possédait ? combien il a vendu ? d'où provenait lo'argent pour acheter ces maisons : il est aussi un voleur de notre Nation.
វាក៏ជាចោរ ជាមួយប្រពន្ធវា បេលវាធ្វើកុង្សី លួចជាតិខ្មែរដូច ហ៊ុន សែន ដែរ ! បោះឆ្នោតឲ្យវា ? គឺប្រាកដជាបាត់ស្រុក ដូចហ៊ុនសែន !
Merci à @7:43 AM
Oui, vous avez la raison !
Il est aussi un très bon traite.
Je suis d'accord avec vous !
to 7:43 AM and 8:00 AM,
If you both are thinking like this, please go back (leaving France) to Cambodia or Hanoi and living there, then you will know more about your life, ok!
former Cpp cadre
All the voting will got to CNRP but NEC will declar CPP the winner.
The the miss-match all over the country where Cambodian citizen voted for CNRP but NEC somehow switch them CPP..
If you look at the policy of the CPP is all aim at keeping Cambodian Citizen poor and the CPP Hun Sen family rich at all costs.
plus who the heal would want to vote for the CPP policy to donate coffin if you are age 65 Year old.
Is that implied to Chea Sim and Samrin too since they are both reach the threshold and Hun Sen too will come soon....
Is this national interests?
In NEC has tree Vietnam experts in Khmer name those were worked as Expert during 1979-93 for Hun Sen.
the losers CNRP will contest the result no matter what, that's the losers usually did and practiced.
La participation de l’élection, cela signifie cautionner la légitimité du gouvernement issue de l'élection de manière indirectement des Pouvoirs HUN SEN .
Participation in the election, it means endorsing the legitimacy of the government after the election so indirectly Powers HUN SEN.
11:29 AM,
How about in 1993 UN sponsored election, did the looser give up its power at all or because the looser want to please the Vietcong for its own power?
You're near-sighted, that's the reason you blame it to yourself! So stop being so proud of yourself, it's too SHAMEFUL.
7:43 AM,
Only a brainless person like you would think this way. The question is does Ah Hun Shit really cares about Cambodia+fix the country problems or getting worst? We need to change to make it better.
Did CNRP sold any land to Vietcong yet or you just assume, accuse, abuse like CPP or you're the one.
You accuse people when you experience it, otherwise its bad influence for society.
