National Royalist Party defectors welcomed in new merger

Hundreds of members of Prince Norodom Ranarridh’s erstwhile eponymous party in Kampot have decided to follow their former leader out the door, bolting for the newly formed Cambodian National Rescue Party, officials said yesterday.

Bou Luon, deputy executive president of the NRP in Kampot, along with the party’s Chhouk and Dorng Tung district presidents – Sim Sok and Ouk Dul – said yesterday that the ouster of Ranarridh and the push to merge with royalist party Funcinpec had been the one-two punch that sent them looking for a new political home.

In addition to themselves, there will be about 500-600 members in three districts joining CNRP, the trio said.

“I had followed Samdech Krom Preah [Ranariddh] since 1992. When he resigned, we must find out who can rescue the nation,” Bou Luon said in a thinly veiled reference to the name given to the party being formed out of a union of the Sam Rainsy Party and Human Rights Party.

“I followed the prince. I cannot join Funcinpec because it [joins hand with the ruling party] for power,” Ouk Dul added.

The Norodom Ranariddh Party will soon be no more after its members voted for a new name yesterday – the Nationalist Party – and elected a replacement for its royalist founder, who announced his exit from politics on Friday.

NRP Secretary-General Sao Rany, part of a faction that tried to publicly oust Prince Norodom Ranariddh last month, yesterday won the support of his co-members and will lead the party to its General Assembly on August 24 – and a likely merger with fellow royalist party Funcinpec.

“I thank the prince for resigning from his position . . . in order to open the way for us to unite the royalists,” he said yesterday.

“I was elected acting president of the [new party] and will help to stabilise party affairs before moving towards a merger with Funcinpec on August 25.

We will integrate all levels of the party’s infrastructure into Funcinpec, and we will work under Funcinpec.

Prince's resignation setback for Cambodia's royalist movement

In Cambodia, the royalist movement has been dealt another blow, with Prince Norodom Ranariddh announcing his resignation from politics for a second time.

Last time it was in 2008, after a scandal involving the sale of the Funcinpec party's headquarters.

He eventually received a royal pardon, and in late 2010 made a comeback with a self-named party he said was committed to re-uniting the Royalists.

That attempt now appears to have collapsed, and along with it, the political career of the Prince.

Royalist Parties to Merge [... without any royals]

The surprise resignation of Cambodia’s Prince Norodom Ranariddh paves the way for the merger.

“Members of the Royal Family [just] enjoy being praised, so they have forgotten to prepare any political strategy. So party officials are able to topple the prince from within the party”
Two of Cambodia’s royalist parties are to merge, top officials from both sides said Monday, after a key leader seen as an obstacle to the unification announced his retirement last week.

The Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP) will be dissolved and its members merged into the Funcinpec party, the only group in a coalition with Prime Minister Hun Sen’s ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP).

The Funcinpec party was founded in 1981 by King Norodom Sihanouk. His son Prince Norodom Ranariddh set up the NRP after being ousted from Funcinpec six years ago.

The merger move came Monday after the surprise resignation Friday by the prince as NRP president. He said he was retiring from politics.

"I would like to announce, from now on, that I stop doing politics and will not take responsibility for any work and decisions made by the Norodom Ranariddh Party anymore," he said in a statement.

WASHINGTON DC - Prince Norodom Ranariddh, the one-time rival of Prime Minister Hun Sen and the head of his own royalist party, claims he is giving up on politics.

In a statement issued last week, the prince said he will now serve the public by helping his brother, the current king, Norodom Sihamoni, as an adviser.

"I would like to declare that from now on, I cease politics, and I will not take any responsibility for any of the work or declarations of the Norodom Ranariddh Party," he said.

The move signals the prince's inability to gain seats in parliament for his royalist party, said Ou Virak, head of the Cambodian Center for Human Rights.

Cambodian Prince resigns from politics - again [-The Royalist party is dead ... Long life the Hun Xen stooge party]

Cambodia's Royalist movement has been dealt a huge blow, with Prince Norodom Ranariddh announcing his resignation from politics for a second time.

ABC Radio Australia
"I don't think there will be a major Royalist presence any longer in Cambodian politics but you never know, Cambodia is so fluid everything can change in one moment."
The Prince first resigned in 2008 after a scandal involving the sale of the Funcinpec party's headquarters, before receiving a royal pardon and making a comeback in late 2010 with a self-named party that aimed to reunite all Royalists.

That attempt appears to have collapsed, and along with it the political career of the Prince.

Official biographer and former private secretary to the Prince's father, Ambassador Julio Jeldres, told Radio Australia's Asia Pacific the Prince was unable to accept Funcinpec leaders' calls for more transparency in the decision process.

"As I understand it there had been a number of proposals sent to the Prince from the Funcinpec party asking him to accept the Presidency of the party in whatever title he wishes to have...but to accept that there was a kind of organisational decision making which didn't exist before when he was the President of Funcinpec because normally he took all the decisions," he said.

NRP to be renamed CPP-stooge?

Cambodia's Norodom Ranariddh Party to switch name after Prince Ranariddh quits politics

Xinhua | 2012-8-13

The Norodom Ranariddh Party will be changed its name to the Nationalist Party on August 24 in a party's general assembly, Sao Rany, the party's acting president, said Monday.

The change was announced after the party's president Prince Norodom Ranariddh surprisingly declared last Friday that he quit politics to focus on humanitarian activities.

"As the prince resigned from the position of the party's president last week, the board of directors decided to change the party's name to the Nationalist Party in a general assembly on August 24," Sao Rany told reporters after the party's board meeting.

Cambodian prince quits politics for second time [-Le prince est castré, vive la saison des amours des royalos!!!]

AFP –08/10/2012

Ranariddh on Friday announced that he was quitting politics for a second time after he was perceived as an obstacle to a merger between royalist parties.

The son of beloved former king Norodom Sihanouk agreed in May to combine his eponymous Norodom Ranariddh Party with Funcinpec in a bid to reinvigorate the royalist movement ahead of next year's general elections.

"I would like to announce, from now on, that I stop doing politics and will not take responsibility for any work and decisions made by the Norodom Ranariddh Party any more," Ranariddh said in a statement.

Royalist without the Royals? - Les royalistes sont morts, vive les royalistes?!?!

Royalists will merge, royal not necessary

The Phnom Penh Post

Top members of the two royalist parties in Cambodia have a message for Prince Norodom Ranariddh: We’re merging, with or without you.

Funcinpec and the party that bears Norodom Ranariddh’s name, NRP, plan to hold a political congress later this month to reboot merger talks that foundered in recent months over disagreements between Ranariddh and the head of Funcinpec, Nhek Bun Chhay.

Chhay and Sao Rany, secretary-general of NRP, told the Post yesterday the royalist parties will hold the congress even if Ranariddh remains opposed.
