Cambodian Human Right Party fails to form opposition bloc
April 22, 2008
Cambodia's opposition Human Right Party (HRP)'s steering committee has
announced its secret negotiations with opposition democrats,
nationalists and royalists have not resulted in unification, local
newspaper the Mekong Times re****ted Tuesday.
The HRP leader****p has long been discussing a possible unification
with the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) and Norodom Ranariddh Party (NRP),
said Keat Sokun, deputy HRP president.
"We have worked secretly with locals and those overseas on
unification," he said, adding that HRP officials have met with
representatives of the SRP and NRP, but the effort has to date not
yielded positive results.
Keat Sokun blamed the SRP for the lack of a coherent political
opposition, saying that SRP representatives had claimed their party
needed no help.
Still, he said the HRP remains adamant that a unified opposition would
be best for Cambodia.
