The opposition Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) has made it clear that it will not change its current party name which bears the name of its party president, virtually shut down a possibility of a merger with the Human Rights Party (HRP), reports Radio France Internationale.
In a video conference from France held on Saturday 7th March, party president Sam Rainsy made it very clear that the party name will remain the same so long as his party still face danger of a possible political and party coup e'tat orchestrated by the ruling Cambodian People's Party.
The SRP and HRP are in merger talks for the last two years. However, the HRP had set three conditions for the merger and one of them is that the new united party must not use any people's name to reflect its true nature of a democratic political party.
Mr. Sam Rainsy said his party's decision to keep using his name in the party name is for "safety and to avoid a party coup d'etat".
The Sam Rainsy Party was founded by Mr. Sam Rainsy as a Khmer Nation Party in November 1995. In 1997, Kong Mony, a renegade party founder, suspected to be aided and abetted by Prime Minister Hun Sen, orchetsrated a break away faction and staged a claim to the party name. Eventually, Mr. Sam Rainsy and other party members decided to rename the party to the Sam Rainsy Party to make it impossible for any possible party coup d'etat to be repeated.

Good choice SRP! Don't trust Kem Sokha and his HRP clans. HRP main purpose of existence is to distract SRP.
HRP is formed under Hun Sen noise with the mission to help destroy SRP.
Kem Sokha is already bought by CPP before he released from Hun Sen jail at Prey Sar. Kem Sokha younger also joined CPP right after 2008 election. In addition, Kem Sokha have a very long long corruption history when he was the president of CHIRR. Kem Sokha a rotted apple. His interest is not for Cambodians and Cambodia nation. Kem Sokha and his HRP is just one of the CPP tool and a barking puppy for Hun Sen.
It is good for both parties to merge and not use anyone's name, but at this time I don't support the change of the name of Rainsy's party because Hun Sen will interfere and incite a break up and steal the party name like before. SRP has to change back to Khmer Nation Party whenever it is safe to do so- when someone can't use excuse to break up the party or steal the party's name- but not now.
