SRP plans to reshuffle MPs' candidate list

A senior Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) official said that the party plans to review and reshuffle the MPs' candidate list in a number of constituencies in preparations for the 2013 national election, reports Khmer Express News.

The review and reshuffle of the electoral candidate list is the opposition party's new strategy to maximise its electoral chances for the 2013 election. KEN quoted an anonymous SRP official who said that the reshuffle will be carried out in the constituencies of Kandal, Kampot, Banteay Meanchey, Phnom Penh, Kampong Speu and Kampong Cham provinces. However, many serving MPs are very nervous about the reshuffle and had opposed the ideas, reported KEN.

Mr. Yim Sovan (pictured), spokesman for the SRP and MP for Phnom Penh, said up until today the decision to reshuffle has not been made by the party's Permanent Committee (Steering Committee?) yet. But the party has plans to change the compositions of the party's provincial working committees as ways to improve the effectiveness of the party's campaign to strengthen the support base on the grounds in all provinces.

Mr. Kimsour Phirith, MP for Kampong Cham, said in the past the party had reshuffled its MPs in the middle of their parliamentary term, but this term the party had not considered the idea yet.

Recently, Ms. Mu Sochua, MP for Kampot has been moved to take up Mr. Eang Chhay Eang's MP seat in Battambang, while Mr. Eang Chhay Eang has been moved to Kandal for the next parliamentary term.
