A source from the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) said the party's MP for Kampong Cham and president of the SRP of Takeo province Mr. Mao Monivan and Mr. Heng Thuon, head of Pursat's committee of councillors, had been expelled from the party, effective from Tuesday 22nd March. Mr. Mao Monivan told CEN on Tuesday morning that he had been informed of his expulsion from the party.
Mr. Mao Monivan's expulsion came a few hours after he called a press conference on Tuesday morning calling for reforms of the SRP. He said the SRP is disfunctional because it has been run by two families: the family of party's spokesman Yim Sovan and the family of party strongman Mr. Eng Chhay Eang.
In the press conference he said the SRP is a hostage of these two families and has called for the party leadership to rescue party President Sam Rainsy from the claws of these two families. He said he has no confidence in the SRP and appealed to party members to defect to other parties that practise real democratic principles.
Mr. Mao Moniva, who had tendered his resignation as an SRP MP effective from 30th March, has said the he will remain as an SRP member after his resignation as an MP, but some media speculations have indicated he is about to defect to the ruling Cambodian People's Party.

Mr. Mao Moniva, he is the most naive politician.-
poor him!
Two cambodian G?
If Mao speaks the truth, then I will feel very, very dispointed with Yim's and Eng's families. is each family trying to monopolize SRP? I hope not, but can anyone from SRP give me a good explanation regarding Mao's resignation? I feel concerned.
