The youngest daughter of former monarch Norodom Sihanouk, who was nominated by the Funcinpec party as its candidate for premiership during the upcoming 2008 general election, said that she will assist in pulling up Funcinpec, and in particular, in supporting the value of women.

Princess Norodom Arunrasmy told RFA that she does not want to be involved in politics because of the ever changing political situation, however, because the decision has already been taken by the Funcinpec party congress, the princess must forced herself to accomplish the work in order to obtain victory.

In the past election, the Funcinpec candidate to the premiership was Prince Norodom Ranariddh. The prince is currently in exile outside the country because the Cambodian tribunal had sentenced him in absentia to 18-month of jail sentence and a fine of $150,000, after he was sued by Funcinpec officials regarding the sale of the party headquarters.
