Cambodia: Opposition party leader defects to CPP
Phnom Penh (VNA) - Keo Ramy, vice president of Cambodia's second largest opposition party (HRP), has defected to the ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP).
"I decide to join CPP after I have opposed it for over 20 years," said the
45-year-old former leader of the Human Right Party on October 7.
"We can see that through the general election on July 27. CPP won 90 of the
123 seats at the National Assembly. More (and more) people support CPP and I
follow the decision of people," he added.
During the election, HRP won three seats, but Ramy failed to secure a seat
as candidate for the Phnom Penh electoral constituency.
Ramy once served the co-ruling FUNCINPEC Party and the major opposition Sam
Rainsy Party and later joined his friends to establish HRP.-Enditem
