KAMPONG CHAM PROVINCE
FORMER prime minister and political heavyweight Prince Norodom Ranariddh has announced his return to political life, raising hopes of a resurrection in the fortunes of the Kingdom’s moribund royalist movement.
Speaking to more than 500 supporters in Kampong Cham province on Saturday, Prince Ranariddh said he would soon return to head the Nationalist Party, which plans to re-adopt its old name, the Norodom Ranariddh Party, at a party congress this week.
“I am preparing myself to lead the Norodom Ranariddh Party,” he said. “Doing politics is the same as being addicted to opium, but what is important is that there have been a lot of petitions inviting me to lead the Norodom Ranariddh Party,” he added.
Ranariddh, who retired from politics in October 2008, hurled criticism at his former Funcinpec party colleagues, accusing them of selling themselves to the ruling Cambodian People’s Party in exchange for government posts and other personal benefits.
He said he had rejected appeals for him to return to the party, which removed him as its president in 2006, and called on all royalist supporters to gather under the NP/NRP umbrella.
“Please members of Funcinpec, come back to me. What is the importance of rotten posts!” he said. “I will not return to Funcinpec, because Funcinpec is just a party serving [the CPP].”
The Prince’s return could throw the ailing royalist movement into further disarray, with plans for a merger between the NP/NRP and Funcinpec now in progress. Since 2006, when Ranariddh was removed from his post as Funcinpec party president in connection with claims he embezzled party funds, the royalist movement has stagnated.
The two royalist parties won only four seats at the 2008 national elections and a merger plan, more than a year in the making, is seen as the key to reviving their fortunes.
Ranariddh said yesterday that he was still committed to the merger, but that Funcinpec’s secretary general, Nhek Bun Chhay, and Keo Puth Reaksmey, its president, no longer had the support of the people.
He also promised to take a centrist approach to politics, pledging not to support or criticise the government on any subject without good reason. As an example, he lashed out at National Assembly President Heng Samrin and his deputy Nguon Nhel, criticising them for stamping out freedom of expression in the parliament.
“When I was president, Sam Rainsy insulted me, and I allowed him to talk freely,” Ranariddh said, referring to the head of the opposition Sam Rainsy Party.
Local supporters of Ranariddh hailed the announcement on Saturday, expressing hopes that Ranariddh, who served as “first” prime minister from 1993 until 1997, would again lead the country.
“I came here to invite the Prince to lead the NRP because he has done a lot to build the country,” said Seng Kuo, 62, from Pea Raing district, in nearby Prey Veng province.
Nhem Sophy, a 40-year-old supporter from Kang Meas district, said other parties had “badly treated” the people. “I hope that he will lead well if he is elected,” she said.

Come and finish off your demolition job.
KP
he should replace the word "politics" with "Corruption":
"Doing corruption is the same as being addicted to opium"
Don't come back to haunt us again!
it doesn't matter what you are going to do , the royalist parties are dead.
He is Hun Sen's puppet guy.
Hun Sen controled all of royal family.
go to dead with your father tov a mok
CHICKENS RUN!
Like father, like son...
It doesn't matter how hard he tries and tries and tries, the golden opportunity will never favor him again. It hates him deep to the bones, because, when it humbly offered itself to him in the 1993 election, he abused it. He turned down the trust of people who voted for him. He the msost sucked politician in Khmer history. If I were him, I'd rather dorwn myself in an inch-deep water.
this is the ugly prince I've ever seen. Every picture of his is ugly like hell. It's a shame to have a khmer price looks like that!
prince--
your wife is cute. hang on to it.i hope she stays with you longer. take care of your health, so you can fool around a little longer before she comits adultry.
p.s. if you like to help khmer and fight against the puppet regime, join the opposition forces.

You wined the election you could do nothing, but now you are a loser to the bottom and you say you want to come back!! Who is going to believe in you anymore?
Remember! “Leading by using your death brain is just like you betray your country”. I think that it is true.
Please don’t come back! Or, you want to save ah Yourn and ah Hun Sen who are going down hill now?
The MONARCHY is DEAD.This stupid prince did not know nothing.Maybe he is blind both eyes;his two ears are deaf.Go out abroad stupid.
9:23 i agree with you.
Come on show his better pictur!
That look greedy and stupid!
People knew well you are interested with money and women only.
Stay out of politic or your monarchy will die out.
low class prince reintoduced himself again, thanks to low class PM.
A Tumpek uses your time to make Ouk Phalla screaming, moaning orgasm, do not jump into Khmer problem again.You can not be compared to a ignorant Heng Samrin and a keu tha, keu tha Ngoun Nhel. It (they) both can cling up to its position firmly to serve its boss Youn so good than A Sdach Tumpek nis.
Hun Sen is prompting Ranariddh to replenish the royalist party, it's a ghost party. To show the public and the international community, the Hun's government is not a totalitarian regime. and then the international community must give more money to Hun Sen. Everyone knew that Ranariddh very afraid of Hun Sen, and also Ranariddh wants lot of money, money, money, money etc...
Putho oy Ranariddh thveu mé pak ! ngop kaun chau ors heuy !

Don't you SRP Zombies insult the prince. This guy used to be Sam Rainsy boss. He was a law professor in France, with PhD degree in Law. He was the only guy who ever beat Hun Sen in general election. He was the first Cambodian prime minister after UNTAC sponsor election. So please spare your insult. If you want to insult, throw it at SR, for running to hide in France and abandon his supporters.
No body insult your prince. Your prince encourage us to insult him. Man, it's a man's own charater/nature itself that earns him respect and honour. He's a dead dog. What can he do??????
NR is maybe just only 1/4 worth of the character and quality of the strong man...
The strong man may not have been educated in France or USA, but his practical courage and strength make him more effective in keeping stability in Cambodia.
he does't enough just play his tail of love . he need to refresh his smell and play more games.
Ranarith, tu as vendu la loyauté de tes frères d'armes et ta vie politique pour un couple de millions de dollars, cela vaut plusieurs milliards ou peut-etre meme SANS prix..

KHMER1980
Whoever supports this man must be completely blind, dumb, deaf and dead.
But, maybe dogs, which don’t know him will do!
He has no brain at all. he only know how to go after women, money, and statur.
Ranarith, tu est come le chien.
We knew that Ah Sen is a Yourn’s dog, he always take Ah Yourn’s side no matter what, so we did not, do not or will not believe in him; but Ranarith become the worst man now because you ruin our trust and hope for a good outcome; if we did not trust you in 1993, we would never stop fighting. We are probably better now. Because of the winning election on that time, you’re stupid leading allowed the enemies to kill all of our nationalists and hero. It is very very very bad!!!!!!
RNR, you are a traitor. We hate you just like Ah Sen.

Ranaridth was a first Prime Minister , a President of a National Assembly and then became a prisoner , now he wants to come back to politics again ? He must be nuts . His royalist Party is nothing but CPP ass' kisser . Did any one ever hear the voice of Royalist Party after the Election ? The answer is no. They were there to raise hands for CPP . That was all they were doing .

Ah Ghostly Rannariddh is back in politics or in corruption (whatever works for himself), because he runs out of money to feed his young mistresses. I call this Rannariddh: ah kanh chas kbal chet khmen! Or a childish prince who only knows how to chase young girls. This loser has made the Norodoms feeling very proud!!!And we have the girly King Sihanouk who is worse than a puppet.
The Sens and the Norodoms are all corrupt and are in politics to look after their self-interests and steal from the poor.
The monarchies and the communists all assume total control on the people they rule.
Cambodia is poor and dying because these iron-grip rules of the monarchy system and the now communist system.

Enough is enough, Prince. Don' be crazy. Keep your current position to save your honor and that of your family.
Don't talk again about " Royalist" or Sihanoukist"..." Sahak Chivin".... All these words are the past andare outof date.
Don' t think that you only are royalist. Those who don't vote for you are also royalists...but they don't like you...
I wouldn't vote or favor this guy, since day one when he was entering Phnom Penh he forgot the moment of his troops and loyalists that followed him. He sold hundred of candidate seat to CPP and made all the money. Now those seat he sold are all CPP control which he shouldn't abandoned his followers.
I rather vote and favor SAM RAINSY.
Think about Nhiek Bunchhay used to like and respect this guy. But now Nhiek Bunchhay hated him more than anything.
If some Khmer people still love,vote,and support this stupid Mr. Nopower (Riddh) again,what can we call them? Maybe a few thousand people.
Mr. Riddh can be the ghost party,the ghosts will vote for Mr.Nopower.Go and live your father in China and die there.
Who let this dog out!!! Huh Huh Huh
I will get some money from Hun Sen.
Prince Shit,
Go back and bury yourself in between Ouk Phalla's legs.
Hanoi's dog what you had been done to Cambodia.
You had betrayed your KHmer country and her people.
