Merger partners don't plan to dissolve existing parties [Is it possible to do that?]

Human Right Party learder Kem Sokha

PHNOM PENH(Cambodia Herald) Human Rights Party leader Kem Sokha said Friday that the merger with the Sam Rainsy Party would be through a new party and that neither of the existing parties would be dissolved.

"The Human Rights and Sam Rainsy parties will not be dissolved even though a new party will be formed," he said.

Following the merger agreement signed with exiled opposition leader Sam Rainsy in Manila on Tuesday, he said the two parties had discussed political and legal issues to finalize the merger to compete in general elections next year.
