Cambodian PM vows to hand over properties if CPP fails in general election
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen said here on Tuesday that he will hand over his personal properties to the new government, if his Cambodian People's Party (CPP) can't win the next general election.
"CPP has already appointed me as premier candidate for the general election in 2008 and if CPP fails, I will sign to hand over the properties (of mine) and all the government documents to the new government," he told more than 100 representatives of donor countries and NGOs and top governmental officials at the two-day First Cambodian Development Cooperation Forum.
According to the law, any political party who wins 50 percent of the votes at the National Assembly plus one more vote can establish government, he said.
"Now Cambodia has about 60 political parties. If CPP wins the next general election, I will continue to lead the country as premier," he said.
The 50 percent plus one rule can guarantee that no more political deadlock will occur in Cambodia, he added.
Hun Sen has been country leader since 1985 and transformed Cambodia from a war-torn land into a kingdom with macro economic stability for almost 10 years.
