The royalist Nationalist Party, formerly the Norodom Ranariddh Party, has restarted to strengthen the internal structure and power base of the party after years of internal wrangling and bickering, reports Radio France International.
In one of its biggest campaigns, the party has on Sunday has begun its big gathering in Kampong Speu province in preparations for the 2012 commune and 2013 national elections, when the two royalist parties, Funcinpec and Nationalist, are hoping to go to the elections in a single ticket.
In the past, party's provincial officials and activists are responsible for the strengthening of the party's power base. However, the party has changed tact by launching a campaign where all top party officials from Phnom Penh must personally go to the provinces and talk to the people and party members. Mr. You Hockry, the party Secretary General and 1st vice president, said this is done in order to the strengthen the party provincial structure and to fill in vacant party leadership positions in the provinces.
The Nationalist Party is a splinter group who broke away from Funcinpec Party when the latter removed Prince Ranariddh from the party presidency in 2006. Prince Ranariddh, along with other party members, then founded the Norodom Ranariddh Party and won two parliamentary seats in the 2008 election. Prince Ranariddh has since left politics in a political deal with Prime Minister Hun Sen to facilitate his return to the country after being convicted of embezzlement and of breach of trust by a politically-motivated court.

Give it up!
Your party has always been useless.
No worry, they (Funcinpec and Nationalist Party) will die by themselves soon, soon after the 2013 election. Just wait and see. They are very corrupt, weak and useless and selfish bunch of people.
