Cambodian PM Says Party Can Legally Form Gov't



 

Hun Sen's Dirty Trick

Hopes for a compromise solution to a deadlock over Cambodia's election results faded Friday as the country's leader insisted he could form a new government even if the opposition boycotts parliament.

Prime Minister Hun Sen said during a meeting with farmers that the constitution allows the National Assembly to carry out its tasks with a simple majority of its 123 members present.


Several independent nonpartisan agencies interpret the law to call for a quorum of at least 120 members to be present to open the new assembly session and form a government.

Hun Sen's Cambodian People's Party says provisional results show it won 68 of the assembly's to the opposition's 55. The opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party says that it won 63 seats and that voting irregularities were widespread.

The results from the government-appointed National Election Committee are still provisional. Its preliminary tally of the popular vote showed Hun Sen's party with 3,227,729 votes and the opposition with 2,941,133. Six other parties that ran far behind shared fewer than half a million other votes.

"There will be no deadlock for the new National Assembly and the forming of new government. I will be the prime minister for the fifth five-year term of the government," Hun Sen told the villagers in Kandal province, which borders the capital Phnom Penh.


Hun Sen's grip on the bureaucracy and security forces, and influence over the judiciary, make challenges to his authority difficult. A boycott threat — though never explicitly spelled out by the opposition — had been seen as its trump card, or at least main bargaining chip. Opposition officials did not immediately respond to the prime minister's remarks.

Hun Sen also clarified remarks he made Thursday, in hectic conditions at a construction site, that had been thought to mean he supported an opposition call for the election committee to appoint an independent body with representatives of both parties and independent organizations to investigate claims of vote-rigging.


The opposition has charged that more than a million people may have been unable to vote because their names had not been put on the voting rolls despite having registered. There are also charges of people being registered despite be ineligible.

However, Hun Sen said Friday that he only supported having political parties and civil society group take part in any investigation under the established committee's auspices. The committee is widely considered to favor Hun Sen's party, and has been criticized for failing to tackle the registration problems, which were pointed out well before the polls.


Hun Sen said Friday that opposition leader Sam Rainsy had called called Sar Kheng, interior minister and a senior ruling party member, to discuss the opposition's concerns. He said that after Sar Kheng said the investigation would have to take place within the existing election committee's framework, Sam Rainsy agreed that the two parties would send representatives to the committee to see how to continue.


"Such an initiative is quite good and regarded as the best way to solve the issue," Hun Sen said.

In a statement issued Friday, Sam Rainsy said he had sent a letter to the election committee to discuss setting up a joint committee to investigate and make a report on election irregularities, saying establishing a joint body was "very important."


Sam Rainsy said such a body would comprise representatives of the ruling and opposition parties, international and domestic civil society groups and other concerned parties.

Hun Sen and his government have railed against foreign involvement, with the Foreign Ministry on Wednesday issuing a statement warning foreign diplomatic missions not to interfere in the country's internal affairs.

I don't know about buying time but no one is buying. I know losing an election for Vietnam and CPP can be such a hard time to deal with. It's a campaign blowout, your writing is very desperate and I know when you are trying to keep your job with such money being invested into.

Stolen! Another election stolen by CPP! Hun Sen steals election in broad daylight.
Thieves never change their character to steal.
And Hun Sen will use force to crush CNRP. Hun Sen and CPP will never give up power and money. They will never accept that they lose. the Only way is to crush and kick Hun Sen and CPP out until they run.

Hun Sen wants to go down the same way Sadam, Qadafi et al did.
We have to understand how Hun Sen’s head works. He does not care about the loss of a million of innocent lives as long as he can cling on to power, and the West should understand that too.

I was shocked to see and hear Hun Sen speak so nicely during his visit to the new bridge on 7-31-13. Unfortunately, that kind of character didn't last long because he's gone crazy again the next day. Oh, well it runs in his blood! What can we do about it?

The CPP have never won any elections in Cambodia since 1993, CPP has won the elections only by cheats and by frauds with the help of NEC. So Khmer People, the time to stand up And demand our democratic rights is.now .

Do it altogether all over Cambodia at the same time. Just wait patiently for the call from CNRP leadership. Be Prepared!

“Cambodian PM Says Party Can Legally Form Gov't”

Remember Hun Sen says it, but the law does not allow it.
Up to the Election Day Hun Sen was the law, but from now on will the Khmer allow him to be the law again?

“Without destruction, there can be no construction!”
OR
“After the war is peace!”

And that was exactly what we thought after April 17th 1975.

It is a disgrace to the Royal Kingdom of Cambodia that her Prime Minister either does not know how to read the Constitution or totally ignore the law of the land. The Quorum to open the National Assembly requires 120 deputies out of 123 before the majority plus one of the body can, in turn, approve the government.

Either way, it is sad that many Cambodian literates and scholars who may be still traumatized by the bullies in the past prefer to condone this abuse of the law of the land.

Please help educate our compatriots be a Prime Minister or a farmer.
