PHNOM PENH - The large show of support for a new opposition party could mean more seats after July’s election, a leading analyst says.

The  Cambodia National Rescue Party held a congress last weekend attended by some 10,000 activists, in a display widespread support, the analyst, Lao Mong Hay told VOA Khmer.
The party combines lawmakers from the Sam Rainsy and Human Rights parties, which together hold just 29 of 123 Assembly seats. Its supporters hope the wider reach of the party will bring in more seats in the July 28 national elections.

Lao Mong Hay said parts of the party’s platform, including higher salaries for civil servants, as well as pensions, could resonate with voters.

Yim Sovann, a spokesman for the party, agreed, saying the higher salaries and pensions are possible, but Cambodia’s leadership must change. More rights and freedoms, and decreased corruption are also main tenets of the party’s philosophy, he said.

However, government spokesman Phay Siphan said the opposition’s positions amount only to promises, while the ruling Cambodian People’s Party has already set a strategy to help the country out of poverty.

poverty ?
- more loan from China on top of $ 10bn debt ?
- Widespread corruption ?
- Injustice & impunity ?
- More 99 years Concessioned land to Yuon ? ( Yuon hasn't
returned the Khmer provinces which King Chey Chetha II
let Yuon used as military bases , after 5 years of contract )
- Hun Sen family & cronies have sold natural resources for
their pockets ?
- Send the University graduates to work as manual construction workers ? or garment workers ?
