Vice-prime minister Nhiek Bun Chhay, who is also secretary-general of the Funcinpec party, hopes that Funcinpec will preserve 26 seats at the National Assembly for the upcoming 4th mandate general election which will take place in July 2008. Nhiek Bun Chhay told RFA last week that, for his Funcinpec party, he hopes that it will preserve the same 26 seats it currently occupies. Nhiek Bun Chhay explained that he has such hope because his party is working actively to visit the grass root level, and he observed that support for the party remains the same as before. Nhiek Bun Chhay said that Funcinpec wants to preserve 26 seats at the National Assembly in order to continue working in the coalition government with the CPP.
