I am sure, mr chum Mey will lead a demonstration, he is already in a campaigning mode for the CPP. Mr kem sokha should not underestimate the situation. I think he need to come up with good counter attack strategy and turn thing around to the main policy debate. Or bring mr Sam Rainsy back with him to create a crisis situation and put pressure on government.
Chum Mey is a hypocrite. This world does not ever need this kind of person. It is better to live without him anyway. What has he done for the world anyway? I mean Chum Mey chooses to go against the very OPINION(s) of Kem Sokha. What Kem Sokha says is based simply on what he chooses to BELIEVES. If anyone goes against his words, then provide the counter argument, and that should be it. To date, the world has not yet known that the Khmer Rouge Hun Sen has ever publicly apologized to the victims that he killed. So how come Chum Mey does not say anything. Why now is Chum Mey seeking to be used by Hun Sen? Therefore, Chum Mey is a hypocrite. According to Chum Mey all Khmer Rouge were bad people, and Hun Sen was a Khmer Rouge, thus Chum Mey needs to ask Hun Sen the killer to apologize for the killings he did against his victims. F*ck Chum Mey.
I think PM Hun Sen has the upper-hand to play this game. All the main media are with him and Chum Mey already issue two separate statements:

That means the issue is going against Mr. Kem Sokha rather than the opposite.
