Cambodia’s King Norodom Sihamoni has invited Prime Minister Hun Sen and opposition leader Sam Rainsy for talks this week aimed at resolving a standoff over recent elections as Sam Rainsy’s party filed a lawsuit accusing the country election body of vote fraud.
Both Hun Sen and Sam Rainsy have said they will attend the Saturday meeting, which will be their first since the hotly disputed July 28 elections.
The king sent invitations to the two leaders on Thursday to join him in the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh “to participate in a meeting presided over by me to resolve national issues” stemming from the elections.
The king had on Monday called for the country’s new parliament to convene Sept. 23 after official election results over the weekend confirmed a victory for Prime Minister Hun Sen’s Cambodian People’s Party (CPP).
But Sam Rainsy’s Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) has challenged the results, alleging widespread vote fraud, and threatened to boycott parliament.
Before announcing the talks, King Sihamoni, who returned Wednesday from a nearly month-long trip to China for a medical check-up, had come under criticism for not stepping in to help resolve the deadlock.
“I … will participate in the meeting as invited,” Hun Sen responded to the king Thursday, saying CPP secretary general Say Chhum and Interior Minister Sar Kheng would go with him.
CNRP deputy chief Kem Sokha told RFA’s Khmer Service he and party president Sam Rainsy will join the talks, where they will ask the king to broker an independent probe into election fraud charges.
He said the party was pushing for discussion on the probe to be included on the meeting’s agenda.
“We have written to the king to say that we would like him to provide us justice for voters,” Kem Sokha told RFA’s Khmer Service.
“We will submit to the king an agenda item on the king seeking justice to establish an independent committee to investigate election irregularities,” he said.
Protest plans
The king’s meeting with be held just ahead of another protest rally Sunday planned by the CNRP to highlight its demand for an independent probe.
The rally in Phnom Penh’s Freedom Park has to be confined to 10,000 people and can be held from 6.00 a.m. to 6.00 p.m., the Interior Ministry told the CNRP Thursday as it gave conditional approval to the party to hold the rally.
The rally also must be contained inside the park, with demonstrators barred from marching along public streets, the ministry said.
It will not allow the CNRP to hold protests on Sept. 16 and 17 because of junior high school examinations scheduled on those days, Minister of the Interior Sar Kheng said.
On Thursday, some 10,000 people participated in a protest in Siem Reap, a top tourism hub that is one of the country’s biggest cities.
In Phnom Penh, some 100 people including monks gathered at the city’s main temple Wat Phnom to pray for peace and calm amid the election tensions.
Lawsuit
Also on Thursday, the CNRP filed a lawsuit against the National Election Committee (NEC), which managed the election, accusing it of vote fraud.
In the suit filed with the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, it accused three top NEC officials of faking voter names on the electoral rolls, using "fake election results," and abusing the election law.
The lawsuit comes after the country’s highest court, the Constitutional Council, dismissed all of the opposition’s complaints against the NEC in its 17-day review, upholding the NEC’s preliminary results and paving the way for the Hun Sen’ official victory.
On Thursday, the Constitutional Council issued a statement warning that those who fail to “respect” its decision could face imprisonment.
“The Constitutional Council would like to reaffirm that it has already examined and ruled on election disputes since Sept 6,” the statement said.
It cited Article 36 of the law establishing the court as saying that those who “do not respect” the Constitutional Council’s rulings or “obstruct its operations” can face a penalty of between one month to 1 year in prison and a fine of 100,000 riel to 600,000 riel (U.S. $25 to $150).
Official NEC results announced following the conclusion of the Constitutional Council’s review gave the CPP a slight majority in parliament with 68 seats to the CNRP’s 55.
The CNRP, which claims it won at least 63 seats and called for a U.N.-backed investigation to probe widespread irregularities in the polls.
The CPP has long maintained it will convene parliament even without the CNRP's participation.
Some constitutional experts have said that the opposition lawmakers must be present at the first parliamentary session for any new government to be endorsed.
The CPP claims, however, that it is entitled to convene parliament because it has 50 percent of the seats.

I urging all Cambodians come to join the mass protest not only in Phnom Penh must be in every province.
Any CPP member trying to against the protest must use the people power to against them back.
Bear in mind: one hundred people against one CPP member, so the people power always win.
Do just like in Indonesia Country.
Koh Tral Island must not be forgotten
By “any patriot Khmers”
Why do Koh Tral Island, known in Vietnam as Phu Quoc, a sea and land area covering proximately over 30,000 km2 [Note: the actual land size of Koh Tral itself is 574 square kilometres (222 sq miles)] have been lost to Vietnam by whose treaty? Why don’t Cambodia government be transparent and explain to Cambodia army at front line and the whole nation about this? Why don't they include this into education system? Why?
Cambodian armies are fighting at front line for 4.6 km2 on the Thai border and what's about over 30,000km2 of Cambodia to Vietnam. Nobody dare to talk about it! Why? Cambodian armies you are decide the fate of your nation, Cambodian army as well as Cambodian people must rethink about this again and again. Is it fair?
Koh Tral Island, the sea and land area of over 30,000 square kilometres have been lost to Vietnam by the 1979 to 1985 treaties. The Cambodian army at front line as well as all Cambodian people must rethink again about these issues. Are Cambodian army fighting to protect the Cambodia Nation or protecting a very small group that own big lands, big properties or only protecting a small group but disguising as protecting the Khmer nation?
The Cambodian army at front lines suffer under rain, wind, bullets, bombs, lack of foods, lack of nutrition and their families have no health care assistance, no securities after they died but a very small group eat well, sleep well, sleep in first class hotel with air conditioning system with message from young girls, have first class medical care from oversea medical treatments, they are billionaires, millionaires who sell out the country to be rich and make the Cambodian people suffer everyday.
Who signed the treaty 1979-1985 that resulted in the loss over 30,000 km2 of Cambodia??? Why they are not being transparent and brave enough to inform all Cambodians and Cambodian army at front line about these issues? Why don't they include Koh Tral (Koh Tral size is bigger than the whole Phom Phen and bigger than Singapore [Note: Singapore's present land size is 704 km2 (271.8 sq mi)]) with heap of great natural resources, in the Cambodian education system?
Look at Hun Sen's families, relatives and friends- they are billionaires, millionaires. Where did they get the money from when we all just got out of war with empty hands [in 1979]? Hun Sen always say in his speeches that Cambodia had just risen up from the ashes of war, just got up from Year Zero with empty hands and how come they are billionaires, millionaires but 90% of innocent Cambodian people are so poor and struggling with their livelihood every day?
vea ches ey vear ah bald head besides talking like parrot!
It is unlikely that the King will support the CNRP view. I just don't think he have the heart of a Khmer Angkor...
God, please let me be wrong!

The CNRP party will never won the CPP party if they can't't solve the election irregularities.
If your majesty king wants your people to give your highness the respectful, refrain from siding with the devil dictator Hun Sen, simply thinking white is white.
Otherwise Cambodian had enough perhaps they will open up the brand new chapter of history?
Please your majesty king no Khmers is no Cambodia, No Cambodia is no king. The past experience have been taught when you were in the jail in the Khmer rouge era, your majesty king do not easily forget that.
The Title should be paraphrased as "Hun Sen Oreded the King to Invite Sam Rainsy to Have a Meeting"
Hun Sen knows well that the power of the people can remove him from power, so he has to use the King to pressure the CNRP to form a government under him (Hun Sen).
Sam Rainsy must understand that the people in and outside of Cambodia WILL not support the CNRP if he (Rainsy) makes a deal with Hun Sen.
Don't fall into Hun Sen and the King's trap. Any political compromise will only benefit Hun Sen and Youns (and perhaps the King. The lesson from the past is that King Sihanouk made a stupid deal with the Communist in 1993 by creating a what so called a government with two prime ministers (what on earth is that?). As a result, Youns still control Khmer.
