In a letter sent on 12 September to King Norodom Sihamoni, the 26 elected SRP MPs have clearly indicated their position regarding the 24 September Parliament session: they will not participate in it.

Through this action, the elected opposition MPs want to renew their protest against the election results. “Our decision was taken in the name of million of voters who casted their ballots for us, and in the name of Cambodian people whose rights were denied by the election rigging. Today again, no institution provided justice for us,” the SRP MPs wrote in this letter. The also asked the king the authorization to swear-in separately.

On the same day, short of a detailed reply back, King Sihamoni informed that he indeed received this letter.
