HUNDREDS of former opposition party members have defected to the ruling Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), Takeo provincial Governor Srey Ben said Sunday, a claim denied by opposition lawmakers.
Srey Ben said the CPP had held a ceremony on Sunday to inaugurate 447 new members who formerly belonged to the Sam Rainsy Party (SRP) and Human Rights Party (HRP).
“It is normal for the CPP to inaugurate new members into the party, and it is nothing to be surprised about,” Srey Ben said.
