Sam Rainsy, the exiled president of the SRP.Published: 30-Jan-12
PHNOM PENH (Cambodia Herald) - The Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) claimed that it is the strongest challenging force against the ruling Cambodian Ppeople's Party (CPP) after it won 11 seats in the senate election held January 29.
"The party has again confirmed its place as the second-largest in Cambodia, and the only political force capable of mounting a long-term challenge to the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), which was in power since 1979," said the SRP statement.
"Only two parties were competing, the CPP and the SRP, the rest being too small to have a chance of winning a senatorial seat. The SRP is the only force which can provide a clear alternative to the CPP," the opposition added.
Sam Rainsy, leader of the SRP, was forced into exile at the end of 2009.
SRP parliamentarians demand the return of Sam Rainsy for the communal elections of June 2012 and the legislative elections of July 2013.

To All,
Eventhoug smaller opposition parties dissagree
with SRP, for now we must consolidate
as one with SRP leadership.
After winning, then we can agree to dissagree.
Let us look at the long term goal.
United We Stand. !!!
A Proud Khmer
divide and rule strategy of PM Hun Sen is working very well. The mighty Funcipec is reduce to only a 2 members of parliament in National Assembly and now none is in Senate.
face smile as a horse but inside
fully fire in brain.
may be heart attack one day.
8:01 AM, Your Sd-ach Hun Sen is a murderer. Is Sam Rainsy a murderer too?
It seems no one supports the SRP anymore. The CPP gets the backing of the Royalty, and that's why even the Funcipec is joining the bandwagan.
The royalty and Funcinpec are puppets of the CPP. They need to side with the CPP in order to survive. If not, they will be finished. The only test to know how popular the CPP or Sam Rainsy is, is to have an election organized by the UN, like in 1993. But I don't think that is possible. But I want to point out that if no cheating, no intimidation or vote-buying, the CPP can't win with this big margin. Maybe only with a small margin.
