CPP, CNRP come closer to agreement

CPP, CNRP come closer to agreement

9 April 2014

The ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP) and the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) came closer to agreement in order to end the current post-election dispute. The working groups of CPP and CNRP introduced three formulas for National Election Committee (NEC) reform and adjust election date. The agreements came after behind-the door meeting between working groups of the two parties on 8 April 2014. The two parties agreed to change election date to be held before July as in this month there are a lot of rains and the Cambodian farmers are more engaged in rice plantation.

CPP said the change of election date didn’t mean a new election in fifth mandate. CNRP Sam Rainsy raised three possibilities for the NEC reform: (1) the two parties can choose members from their own parties to form the NEC; (2) Choose independent individuals as well as people from the two parties to form the NEC; (3) Choose all independent individuals to form the NEC.
