PHNOM PENH (The Cambodia Herald) -- Supporters of the opposition Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) gathered Saturday south of the Royal Palace to present petitions to King Norodom Sihamoni, asking him to delay the National Assembly’s first session on September 23.
The petitions containing around 260,000 thumbprints also supported the opposition lawmaker's boycott of parliament's inaugural session.
The thumbprints were collected after CNRP leader Sam Rainsy sent a letter to King Norodom Sihamoni this past Friday, asking him to delay the parliamentary session until November.
In the request letter, Sam Rainsy said that the Cambodia National Rescue Party will not attend the first session of parliament as long as there's no agreement reached between the two opposing parties.
Sao Chan Hok, a representative for the supporters of the CNRP who was also present during the hand-off, said that the office of the King had a car waiting which carried their 260,000 thumbprint petitions.

Let the king dies. he is spineless. Don't beg him, let him announce what ever he want on 23rd. Also Mr. Sam Rainsy you need to be the man and stop begging this brainless (courage-less)king. He not even a real man. CNRP leadership you need to act likes you are the winner, stop begging for negotiation. Worst case just let CPP run it with the stolen 68 seat because the whole world knows the real winner is CNRP. CPP 68 seats will become illegitimate government that most world power government will not recognize. Eventually CPP will fall without foreign aids and loans because from China and Vietnam is insufficient to cover their budget.
