PHNOM PENH (The Phnom Penh Post/Asia News Network): While the Candlelight Party (CP) is calling on others to join it, Cambodian Reform Party (CRP) founder Ou Chanrath (pic) – formerly a lawmaker from the Supreme Court-dissolved Cambodia National Rescue Party (CNRP) – says it will be difficult to do so.
To date, only the Khmer Will Party (KWP) has announced that it will merge with the CP, currently the country’s second-largest party, in an attempt to assemble a large enough political force to be able to win the parliamentary election on July 23 next year.
