The Cambodian coalition government has only two parties, the Cambodian People's Party (CPP) and the Funcinpec Party, Hun Sen said at a ceremony of handing over scholarships to 500 students in a university in Phnom Penh.
The coalition government does not have the NRP, he said, adding that his government is very big with many officials.
"Prince Ranariddh called me to ask the possibility of his party in the coalition government. I said no, because the government is already too big," he said.
After 18 months in self-imposed exile, Ranariddh returned to Cambodia Sunday, just days after a royal amnesty from King Norodom Sihamoni overturned the Prince's fraud conviction.
Sihamoni has just signed to appoint 205 undersecretaries of state according to the request of Hun Sen.
The Cambodian new government has nine deputy prime ministers, 16 senior ministers, 26 ministers and 167 secretaries of state.
All ministers in the government are members of CPP, which has won 90 seats in all the 123 seats of the National Assembly.
