Funcinpec’s Norodom Arunrasmy should be designated as the PM candidate for a leadership position for this party, and as the prime minister in the event this party wins the 2008 election.
On Thursday 18 October, the anniversary date of the removal of Norodom Ranariddh from his position as lifelong party president, the Funcinpec will organize its congress to elect a new leader. The party permanent committee presented the candidacy of Norodom Arunrasmy, the youngest daughter of King-Father Norodom Sihanouk, and she should be approved. She is currently the Cambodian ambassador to Malaysia. “We chose the princess because she is competent for this position, and because we also want to show that women have their place in politics. This is a first, and we are proud of this choice,” Nov Sovathero, Funcinpec spokesman, declared.
This put an end to the rumors circulating that Norodom Ranariddh’s name would be presented as Funcinpec party candidate. Prince Sisowath Thomico, who resigned from his position as senior advisor of the party, declared that he will not participate in this congress. He plans to take his religious vow (and become a monk) for a few days. “Choosing this date to hold the congress is very hurtful, and it shows that there is no reconciliation (with Ranariddh) will,” the prince said.
