Amid the reactivation of the decades-old Candlelight Party (CP) ahead of the upcoming elections, former opposition leader Kem Sokha blasted his co-founder of the court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) Sam Rainsy for supporting the CP, warning Rainsy to stop connecting him to their “political ambitions”. Former opposition leader Kem Sokha also came in self-defence against Sam Rainsy, the co-founder of the court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP), for accusing him of being under threat from Prime Minister Hun Sen. Prime Minister Hun Sen says he has not interfered in the internal affairs of the opposition as a rift opens between Sam Rainsy and Kem Sokha. Supporters of Cambodia’s opposition party are expressing their disappointment with a message former president Kem Sokha posted on Facebook that forbids Sam Raingsy and the party from using his name and photos for political purposes. Rainsy’s scramble to call Sokha’s message a result of court pressure or Hun Sen’s coercion suggested to Sary that Rainsy was not expecting the announcement.
