According to a CPP official, 6 high ranking Funcinpec officials defected to the CPP. The 6 Funcinpec officials include: Sun Chanthol, the former minister of Public Works; Neav Sithong, a former MP from Kampong Cham; Manuk Sophana, the under-secretary of state for the ministry of Water Resources and Parliament candidate for Banteay Meanchey province; Prak Sihara, the former deputy-governor of Sihanoukville; Suong Heng, the former secretary of state from the ministry of Public Works; and Chea Chhay, the former secretary of state from the ministry of Health. Besides these 6 defectors, several other important Funcinpec officials are preparing their paperwork to submit their defection to serve the CPP also. An anonymous defector indicated that the Funcinpec defectors decided to join the CPP because they believe that the CPP led by Chea Sim, Heng Samrin and Hun Sen, has led the country with intelligence, and brought in fast development to the country. Therefore, these defectors want to help build the country, and hence they decided to abandon Funcinpec to join the CPP instead.
