The Khmer Republican Party belonging the son of late Marshall Lon Nol, showed its face after the Ministry of Interior recognized it for the participation in the 27 July 2008 general election. In a press conference at the Sunway Hotel in Phnom Penh on 21 February, John Sunny Sok, the KRP vice-president, said that his party was formed on 11 March 2006, and Lon Rith, the son of Marshall Lon Nol, is the party president. John Sunny Sok said that, if his party wins the election, it will abide by the constitution which stipulates that Cambodia is a monarchy. He said that his party is only one among many other parties and it is not a pro-republican party. The KRP will strive by the free democratic system. Lon Rith, the KRP president, did not show up in Phnom Penh for the public to know him yet, even though the party held two press conferences so far already.
