The Candlelight Party (CP) has still not taken any official position on a political alliance with three other parties – Grassroots Democratic (GDP), Khmer Will (KWP) and Cambodian Reform (CRP) – in the lead-up to next year’s national election, representatives said.
Four political parties have requested the National Election Committee (NEC) to withdraw its defamation lawsuit against Candlelight Party (CP) vice-president Son Chhay over his critical comments on the June 5 commune elections.
Four political parties are planning to request meetings with the National Assembly (NA), National Election Committee (NEC) and the Ministry of Interior this week to submit “important” documents to them while urging revisions to the electoral system, a move they said must be made to improve political freedom in Cambodia.
