Princess Ang Duong Nim Sophine, the first vice president of the NRP election committee, told the Kampuchea Thmei newspaper on 28 February that she resigned from the NRP on 27 February because she is unhappy that You Hockry, NRP secretary-general, did not act properly towards her. The princess, whom not many people knew, discussed about her hurt feelings because You Hockry called her in to question on an irregular issue related to her talking to newspapers about internal party affairs, and her discussions led to internal party official dissensions. The princess claimed that her action is not against that in a democratic society. Muth Chantha, NRP spokesman, said that the party kicked the princess out since 23 February because she violated the party bylaws which forbid party members from discussing internal affairs in public, but the princess took all these issues to reveal to newspapers and created party dissensions.
